Otanui Bed and Breakfast



We landed in Auckland and took off to visit our friends, Joe and Mary. They worked at our school in Japan and have just retired to a spectacular 144 acre cattle ranch perched on the top of a hill in the Coromandel Peninsula, the site of the future Otanui Bed and Breakfast. OK…here comes the shameless ad. The views are spectacular and the bed! Oh my gosh! It’s got to be the best bed I’ve ever slept on! (I didn’t want to fall asleep; I just wanted to relish the comfort). There’s a wonderful little garden area that is nestled between the house and the view from the room is outstanding. We had a delightful time hiking through the area, visiting with Joe and Mary, driving around the peninsula and just plain relaxing. If you’re looking for a great little place to go…we’ll fill you in. Jeff has taken some spectacular pictures. I hope to put some of the up soon.
