Overseas Guests

Amazing the information you find out from guests and the range of different occupations that they do.

In the last few days we have had a master of wine who also has an MBA and was a qualified accountant but found auditing bvoring so by chance took up with a mate an interest in wine at night school - many years later the rest is history. He has had a masters of wine for sometime and has been travelling to NZ for many years and loves our country and our wine.Ali & I had the pleasure of sharing a pinot noir & a chardonay from his winery in France - just great drinking - we had a special night.

Another guest from the UK was born in NZ but has lived in the Uk for approx 30 years but also had stints in the US, Ireland and Australia - he was in logistics but his dad was in NZ years as a nazi hunter trying to track down nazi's who had fled Germany and were supposedly hiding here  from the authorities. What's more they found quite a few living in NZ - who would have ever believed it.

Also we had a young musician and her partner stay with us for a few nights and she opened for the great

B B King on tour in the US on many occasions.

And we had a kiwi couple turn up on a Harley - they had decided to go for a ride and then saw Waihi Beach, got accommodation with us , bought Fat Freddy's Drop tickets and stayed the night. They were fashion store retailers from Pukekohe. Great to be a kiwi!
