Boating in New Zealand in Anchorage Bay
Kyle McCarthy

We had a terrific time in New Zealand and this place, Anchorage Bay, was one of our highlights. Whlle we were there, we thought of you.

This is a super family place. Most people stay one night. We stayed two and several others did too.

We heard that some family groups will stay for several days, up to a week.

The only negative thing is dinner is always the same every night: steak and sausage on the grill with vegetarian bean casserole and cole slaw.

It's all delicious but........

 

If you need more info on NZ, don't hesitate to ask. Just go!
