in Devonport. I really appreciate
the hospitality and hope to come back for holidays next time. The trip from
France is very long, but having a stay in “Aniwaniwa”, makes you forget it.

Rugby World Cup, but reactions were better than I thought!!)”

“This was our third stay in Auckland and choosing to stay at Aniwaniwa
(from the web) turned out to be an excellent decision! A lovely house where we were made to feel very
welcome - we particularly liked the
deck overlooking the pool and Peter’s great cooking. My Omelettes will never be the same again,
and where will I find spaghetti squash in London?? Devonport was the perfect base for our America’s Cup activities
and we loved getting the ferry to “work” every day. Hope you’ll still be accepting
kids here in the future and that Rustin recovers soon! Thanks for everything and we hope to be back
soon.” Best wishes, Megan, Chris

We arrived from Paihia having enough of tourists like ourselves. The Information Centre told us that a man called Peter " dealing with honey" or similar probably was the right place for us.

Maonica and I really enjoyed lively discussions with Madeleine (a quest from the UK) and Peter. We received our first lesson in NZ culture.
