Please accept our very belated sympathy and love to the family You guys were so much part of the Motel team and also the North Otago connection. So pleased we got to visit you both at the motels some years ago now. We sold 18 months ago from Archway in Wanaka so semi-retired now. When you cone to Wanaka come and see us. We live at 4 Diamond Lane Peninsula Bay Wanaka and my phone 0274327708
