Excelled our expectations

Words seem inadequate to express our heartfelt thanks for your wonderful hospitality. Throughout our married life we have stayed in a number of motels and other accommodation. We have never experienced such loving care as you showed us. You made us feel like family. The accommodation excelled our expectations. The décor is very tasteful and all the details like the natural products in the bathroom, the very generous variety of drink sachets, Janet Marshall’s book, Images of a Garden, the inspirational wall hanging and drink coasters, reflect your thoughtfulness. We loved the creativity we saw throughout the beautiful gardens and admire your astounding energy and versatility (running a café and shop, preparing delicious meals, caring for the grounds, overseeing bookings and office work, as well as tending to guests,) and your ongoing dedication that makes this such a special haven. Sitting outside for breakfast under the soaring trees surrounded by birds’ song, and discovering the diverse beauty of the native bush, the deep gorge, stream and pineclad slopes was a delight. We will never get to experience an African safari, but you allowed us to safely view the wildlife; we were fascinated by the abundant life-size models of the wild animals and learnt lots as we read the informative plaques. Since our return we have begun sharing the joys of Te Popo with those we meet. Thank you so much for everything! You enabled us to rest and be revitalized. Every blessing
