Their home was comfortable and well-appointed with everything one could ask for, with an easy-to-use kitchen, two roomy seating areas and garaging for our rental car. Their wall art featuring New Zealand artists was enviable! We spent two enjoyable weeks appreciating their house and garden and taking walks – alongside the nearby River (where we could walk into town), around the local Wairau Lagoons Walkway and the Wither Hills Farm Park walking tracks, and the magical beach walk from Marfells Beach to the Cape Campbell lighthouse. Havelock, from where the Pelorus Mailboat leaves, was a short drive away – a great day out on the water. And of course there are the wineries…..
Janet and Charlie were warm, welcoming hosts and we were delighted to meet them again on their reciprocal exchange in our London flat. Thank you both for this wonderful exchange!
