Andy, Ben and Hannah were really fortunate to go up for a flight over the Kahurangi this time. They loved it. They flew past MT Aurthur down to the Karamea on the West Coast before flying back to Motueka.
All Aboard!

A short but steep walk from Nelson is the Centre of New Zealand. Tressa and I had a lovely saturday morning last week. We walked up to the view point overlooking Nelson. It was higher than I was expecting and so the view was great. I would definitely recommend it.

We have added an extra window and a new deck onto Chalet 3. The feedback that we are getting from guests is great.

Admiring the skillful digger or dancing metal dinosaur as Hannah called it!

We have changed the look of our Chalet. We have created a great outdoor space that has great turquoise sea views during the day and at night we can now sit and admire the lights of Nelson.
First stages of the new deck
very early stages - still no balistrades
The finished deck is amazing.

Our blog is where we chronicle our family adventures, with friends and clients too. Surrounded as we are with Mountains, Forests, Rivers and Sea, we need to get out there more often, and when we do, we'll share it here. Enjoy the ride.
