An exciting game of rugby in Motueka. The atmosphere was incredible and being so close to the players and the try line – fantastic. Even Hannah enjoyed watching the dancing girls in the breaks.

Andy and Ben took the Brass family on a cycle trip from our chalets to Neudorf Winery. Hannah and Karen met them there with a picnic. The beautiful setting was the perfect place to do some local wine tasting.
