Clarke and I are still dreaming of our perfect stay with you a few weeks ago!
We had been traveling in your beautiful country for about two weeks, but when we arrived at Poronui, we looked at each other and said “ this is perfection.” And it was in every aspect of your operation from housekeeping to food prep to management, and to all the delightful people we met at the lodge. Our wonderful guide had all “ the right stuff” to help us fish these stunning waters.
We look forward to being back with you next year.
