I am the wife of the very happy Joe T. He doesn't know I am writing but I have to tell you how wonderful he thinks you both are. He has been on many hunts and never came home with such affection for the people he has been with and his experience.

I am sure he has told you hunting is not my thing but seeing him so happy is. Thank you so much!

PS Hunting with Willlie and Ray made him feel like he won the lottery!

This email is to provide you with some feed back on our over night stay at the Makarora River Ranch and to thank you for suggesting the farm stay which was one of the highlights of our visit to your beautiful country.The cabin style accommodation was fantastic with full kitchen, dinning room, ensuite and enormous living room/bedroom area with polished timber floor and equipped with leather lounge, television and very comfortable bed.
When we arrived at the Ranch we were welcomed by Kaye the ranch managers wife who asked if we would prefer a bottle of red or white wine New Zealand of course, we chose the latter and enjoyed a glass while watching the sun set over the snow covered maintains from the deck of the cabin.
A full breakfast was provided and consisted of cereal, fruit, yoghurt, bread, bacon and eggs and condiments. After breakfast we were invited by Willie the ranch manager to tour the farm and see the Thar and Red Deer and were able to get some great photographs from Willies four wheel drive vehicle. After the tour we returned to the Ranch where Kaye had prepared morning tea with freshly baked muffins.
We shared coffee and stories with Willie and Kaye and enjoyed the morning with two very special Kiwi's.
Once again thank you for providing us the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful experience.

I can not begin to express how welcome you made us feel. The job you are doing there is superb and I can not imagine the ranch without you.

My deepest thank you for all your efforts - from the flowers, to the personal visits we had with your friends and family. Your personal touch has made it an experience I will always hold dear. I hope you are resolving thinfs. I do not have a picture of you two. I don't know how I missed this. Perhaps you could send me one?

Snow is melting, and we hope to garden soon. Working on some remodels. Both grandbabies are doing great. Wish it was an easier visit so we could connect soon. Please keep in touch.

Again, deepest thanks for an amazing experience.

Thank you for making our hunt and vacation to New Zealand so terrific. We felt like royalty with all the exceptional attention, food, and accommodations. Thank you for the beautiful handmade wooden bowl as well. We will treasure it always as a gift from our wonderful friends in New Zealand.

Thanks again for everything.
