Kia ora Mike,

Our family recently stayed in your beautiful place at Punakaiki and I wanted to let you know it was such a treat. It is such a magnificent spot, and the cottage and garden are just divine, with gorgeous little touches everywhere. It was a wonderful treat for us. I do hope you can make it back here before too long.
