Wonderful Day!
Mary_S, Mar 2019
We had a fabulous day with Bron. It was a long drive over the hills which gave us a wonderful view of the countryside. Bron gave us a great narrative about the region. The caves were very beautiful, definitely a must see for anyone visiting the area. The Kiwis are fascinating. Bron stopped at a Kiwi orchard and explained all about the fruit and how important it is to New Zealand. She even bought us golden Kiwis to sample. Many thanks to her for making our day so enjoyable.
Response from Host, Aug 2019
