We stayed at a very strange place in Geraldine. This ended my winning streak of choosing immaculate B & Bs in NZ using the Internet. This was a venue for weddings and seemed a bit grand, but I had difficulty finding lodging in this area. The owner made us feel welcome with a large bouquet of Casa Blanca Lilies in our room and wasn’t too upset that we had eaten at Riverstone Cafe when we had arranged to eat there. The bed was large and comfortable and we slept well. However – the downside: there was a little mouse in the corner of our room when we arrived and when we tried to push him out, he protested vociferously. We believe he was poisoned and experiencing the death throes, he certainly didn’t run for it, like his Canadian cousins do! The owner explained that they come inside when she opens the door to air the room. There was a spa or hot tub behind our room but when we lifted the lid, we decided to give it a miss. The highlight of our stay here was one of the family dogs, a perkey little fox terrier. He could use his nose to keep a balloon aloft for an impressive 5 minutes. He had us in stitches. I made a video to remember him by. (Sorry it is sideways!)
