🌵 Cacti cabin 🌵

Sad to leave our swish, one bed apartment, but leave we did, after another scrummy breakfast in a local cafe. It’s a grey mizzle/rain day today, actually the first prolonged rain we’ve had the whole trip, so we can’t moan too much.

After picking up our hire car (a Corolla), we make our way out of town bound for Hamilton, then Tauranga, near our next accom.

Made a pit stop in Woolies. (Didn’t know they were in NZ too) but noticed it was defo more costly than Oz. We then motored on to Waitao.

Our cabin is at the end of a gravel hill, surrounded by lovely scenery and the most amazing and enormous cacti - heaven 😊

Kerry, our host, came to say hello and showed us around round her cacti garden and nursery. She’s cacti mad (I know the feeling) with everything in the cabin 🌵 themed.

Sitting out on the front porch, with a cuppa, the scene was silent. Apart from the deafening cicadas chirping and the bouncing birds tweeting - bliss!Read more
