We have just spent four wonderful days at Tangowahine Farmstay. Hugh and Pauline Rose, the owners, made us so welcome and we felt like a part of their family.

Every afternoon at 4:30 we fed hay to the cows up on the hill. The cows were happy to see us with lots of mooing and more mooing. We rode on the back of the tractor sitting on top of the bales of hay. It was great fun!

It was neat to see their dogs Ruth and Fred hard at work rounding up the cows. Hugh also took us on a great ride on the beach in his 4WD car. We had lunch together at a place called the "Funky Fish" that was also great. The food there was amazingly good and the beach was beautiful.

We stayed in their cottage which was great fun for Dad as it had a wood fireplace. He kept it going and the cottage was cozy and warm all the time.

It was so wonderful being there and feeling like we were home.
