Hi Sally hi Derek I’ve been back in Salzburg for almost a month now again and still I’m thinking much about my last holiday in November in NZ. Oh how I envy you for your all- year-round-green flora! I really enjoyed the days in your house and your nice hospitality and the time you spent talking. The photos I took from Mt Maunganui are just magnificent and they will remind me forever about the nice area you’re living in. I hope you’ll enjoy it for a very long time! All my best wishes Michael Schrumpf, Obertrum, Salzburg, Austria

Just wanted to let you know we are both safely home in Perth, W. Australia after a fabulous trip to NZ. You are definitely on our recommended list to our friends and indeed ourselves should we be lucky enough to re-vist NZ. We had a good look around your area after leaving your B&B and would love to make your place a base sometime in the future. Good luck to you both in the future and your business, you are doing a great job - kind regards Yvonne and Earle Hills. March 2008

Dear Sally and Derek, I had a great trip saw all and everyone I had on my wish-list. Did enjoy Papamoa, just as good as the Mount without the Mount. You have a smashing home, I told my sister on my return to Devonport, Auckland that I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend you. Thank you so very much for letting me stay in your lovely home. Thanks again and all the best Janeen.Hoy (UK)
