    I am happy to travel to Taupo or Hawke's Bay if a family is willing to pay the travel costs [ would be advisable if 2 or 3 families got together to share the travel costs], and to book ahead a little so as to get cheaper fares and an agreed weekend to suit, [not available midweek]. Best means for people to contact me is email.
