Hi Steve,

To start things off we had a fantastic time. You did a great job organising and it all flowed together nicely. Queenstown and Milford Sound all worked smoothly, hotels were perfect for our needs. The views from Queenstown hotel were excellent.

Mount Cook - Kayaking was very much enjoyed. Kaikoura motel was excellent, and dinner was perfect. Whale watching also successful. Waitomo hotel was fun and the spellbound caves were excellent. Auckland perfectly placed hotel. Hire car was perfect size for our needs and everything ran smoothly with picking and dropping off.

Many thanks again for your help
