We had the most amazing few days here...waking to the glorious sunrises, walking the beaches, bathing in hot water holes dug at Ocean Beach and returning to our piece of iconic Aotearoa...sitting on the deck taking in the magnificent ever-changing views. We felt we had gone back in time...suspended in our childhood memories of life as it was in rural Aotearoa. Thank you and we will be back.
