It Was 50 Years Ago Today......

When I was just 17 I was lucky and cheeky enough to land an exclusive interview with The Beatles on the last afternoon of their World Tour in 1964. It could never happen today, but what a great time!



Here comes the bride.....

Over the years we have hosted very treasured guests.

Our honeymooners are joyful and later we get the baby pics.

Families are so much fun and the interaction is wonderful to watch.

One of our great families who have been with us 3 times have now invited us to their eldest daughter's wedding in the USA.

Sadly we are unable to make the wedding, but we will sure get to see more of the bride because she is marrying a KIWI.... one of our own!

I bumped into the happy couple in our town a couple of years ago so it will be great to catch up with them when visiting the New Zealand side of the family.

Happy to say that the Mother and Father of the bride are coming back in March next year. It is always special times when our guests return. One of the highlights of the business we are in...

Unexpected Autumnal Storms...

Well, here in Rotorua, we got off quite lightly, but our friends to the North and East of us suffered some weather related damage, Happy to say everyone is safe.

The Springs is now closing for the Winter and yet, once again, we have been happy to host more great people from New Zealand and around the globe.

When the season is in full swing and we are feeling a little jaded the pick me up I enjoy the most is to sit down with a cup of tea and our Guest Book.

There have been some really great comments from guests over the years, but the one that stands out from this season starts with the words, "You have a gift". Those four words really hit a note with us and we really appreciate we love what we do.

So, here's to season #17 in September..... hope to see you here!
