However, we had not taken into account that we would have Chris and Mike as our lovely hosts: thus, we spent our final week at Swallows Ridge before flying out of NZ from Auckland! Thinking of...

We have returned home recently from spending 8 weeks in New Zealand, staying in B&Bs. Our first two nights were spent at Swallows Ridge and the welcome and hospitality we received here set the standard for the rest of our trip.
