We have really enjoyed our little cottage in the vineyard but this morning it was time to head on again. I took a last photo of the little cottage with the blossom tree blooming beside it. Our road led us back towards Queenstown but just after the airport we took…
So happy to see the sun shining again this morning when we pulled back our curtains! We opened up our breakfast box ( that had been delivered to a fridge yesterday afternoon) to see what we had for breakfast. Fruit, bread for toast, youghurt, jam, criossants, and three eggs in…
It had rained heavily in the night and we woke to a grey day with a new dusting of snow on the hill across the river. Luckily our little cottage was cosy and warm! We opened up the breakfast box that had been left in our fridge and tucked into…
It was lovely to wake to clear skies again this morning, with another amazing view of Mt Cook from the bed! We took our time getting ready and then headed down to the restaurant for breakfast. I don’t think we’ve ever had a better view at a hotel breakfast anywhere…
We were delighted to open the blinds this morning when we woke. The sun was shining and there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky! It was very chilly though, around 3 degrees, so we put our down jackets on for the walk to the restaurant for breakfast. On the…
I’d set the alarm for a bright and early start this morning. I’d planned for us to be at the airport by about 8.10am to give us plenty of time to return the rental car and drop off our bags before the flight. Everything was seamless, and before long we…
My goodness this is a lovely city! The weather was a bit drizzly this morning when we woke, and I thought we may have seen the best of it yesterday but Wellington decided to ( eventually) turn on another beautiful day. But, today, I must admit we did finally get…
I forgot to include a picture in post yesterday to demonstrate what a good wife I am, meaning I forgot to show just how close our hotel was to the Martinborough Brewery! The only thing missing was a gate through the fence.. Despite knowing we could sleep in a bit…
We woke to such bright sunshine this morning streaming in our window, a lovely start to the day. When we arrived at the breakfast room we were the only people there! one other couple came in a little after, but it really shows we are not here in peak season.…
They had muchrooms at breakfast this morning…but no tomatoes! It seems it’s either/or at the Millenium Hotel Rotorua 🙂 We checked out and set our sights south towards Lake Taupo, but we had one more geothermal area to see. It’s a little off the beaten path, but I had read…
You can tell when a hotel is a little on the older side, the walls are thinner! After three very quiet nights we had some minor disturbances from neighbours last night… but luckily not excessive. Woke bright and early today to what seemed like a foggy sky over the lake,…
We woke bright and early and walked up the hallway to the restaurant for breakfast. Not a buffet here, you ordered and waited for it to come. My Full English was excellent, although the mushrooms were not up to the standard of Auckland. Neil had an omelette which he said…
