We were on the same trip as Wendi + Paul and Margaret and totally agree with all the positive things they have written. Special mention for Ken Miller, he was excellent. We didn't go to the Ashburton hotel because we chose the homestay alternative and that was one of the highlights of our holiday, Gary and Sheryl Harrison were wonderful hosts. Thanks also to Silver Fern for unexpectedly collecting us at the airport, two hours before the tour began, at the end of our 6 days/5 nights nightmare journey from the UK.
