Hello from Ohope.
We are officially moved in and settled in the downstairs suite of a beach house with a couple Bruce and Yulene. It is a beautiful place to live and the people that own the house have been nice enough to take us around a bit. 2 weeks ago they took us to the interior where we went tubing down a river. 2 days ago they took us out on their boat to a place called whale island where Ally caught her first fish (snapper) and Shane learned about sea sickness.

We went snorkelling and saw jellyfish, stingrays and seals. Bruce caught a couple of crayfish that we ended up cooking and eating later. It looks and tastes very similiar to lobster. We will post pics of the excursion later.
Hope everyone is well.
Shane and Ally

Your bit of heaven sounds so appealing ,it will be hard to leave. How fortunate to have such a nice to couple as landlords.
