A stay that made our trip unforgettable

This place is amazing. Suited to host several families, turned our sports trip into an unforgettable journey to New Zealand. Georges' place allowed us prepare and recover from the race. It's a shelter, allowing you to rechaege your batteries, away from the town. I recommend!!
