Lori and Mickey Beard - 07/04/2008 What a charming B&B! Terrific views, comfortable accommodations, and our hosts, Angus and Rene, were fun, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. By far the most delightful hosts we had during our two weeks in New Zealand. They anticipated our every need & beyond.... We highly recommend The Rookery!
