"I want to thank you for a truly fantastic day on the Wairaurahiri River (yes I can still pronounce it). This was the highlight of our holiday. It is such a magnificent region and you were such superb hosts, I think we have already recommended it to half NZ since leaving your area! Infact those who knew of it all completely agreed that it is the best jetboating experience in NZ. We have also told lots of people about your yummy venison BBQ."
