Staying at Resting Kiwi and meeting such a gentle dog was really special to us all. Thank you Jane for ensuring we met her and thank you for the lovely stay. China

Arriving with a massive trailer, bigger than a SUV, we needed plenty of parking as we needed to get our prototype Pyka drone down to the Sth Island.
