New Zealand

The other "land Down Under" is lots smaller than neighbor Australia yet packs in a boggling amount of beauty and adventure in its two main islands and many smaller ones -- along with Maori culture and the occasional touch of urban cosmopolitanism.

My 'first time' on tripatini.  I am new to all of this and somewhere, I read about children and B&B's and wanted to share our experiences.  We run a small B&B on the Coromandel Peninsula in NZ.  We do host children & even some extended families & its a wonderful experience.  Not sure how we do it, but we seem to attract the nicest people & best behaved kids!  Many 'Happy birthday's are sung around the breakfast table with Rob playing guitar & singing.  Everyone joins in & a family with 2 daughters birthdays on 2 consecutive days, wanted each girl to have their 'own' special breakfast.  It was a lovely exerience for all the guests.  We've even looked after younger children while parents enjoyed the use of our kayak for an hour.  Reading our guest books, they are full of interesting 'art work' / poetry by childen who leave their 'thank you' in a very special way.  By all means, take your children to a B&B.  Its a wonderful experience for them too.

More good news from New Zealand, as member Kip Brook confirms he and his are safe. He has a special request:

 

It would be really great to hear from fellow members, please read some of my articles here about the quake:

Can you kindly ask them to email me on kip@wordofmouthnz.com. I am helping with the recovery-rebuild from a media perspective. Anyone interested in coming to NZ or interested in the impact of the $30billion+ earthquake and hundreds of lives lost, please email me.


But we're small fry compared with the tragedy in Japan. My thoughts go out to famailies there.

 

Take care, keep happy

And more good news:

 

Hi Everyone,

 

We are safe– and our Families are also - and we appreciate your concern! Our grand old  lady Eliza has suffered much more damage on 22nd February than it did on the 4th September. 

 

There is significant internal damage, but we are structurally sound.  All the downstairs windows are broken so we are boarded and tarpaulined.

We have no water, sewerage or gas.

 

We have limited ability to respond to emails at present due to computer damage.  Telephone is working intermittently.

 

We have had to totally close for at least 2 weeks, maybe longer. It will be a few months until we are fully operational.  

 

For progress reports please go to our website www.elizas.co.nz which we will endeavour to update regularly.
