I stayed in a house-truck named Bronwyn and she was very warm and welcoming, as were my hosts, Jane and Jim. At Okuti Garden you can also stay in a tipi or a yurt, surrounded by beautiful organic gardens and native bush filled with birds. Very peaceful, this place has a lovely feel of beneficence and charm. Just the thing for renewing and re-energizing after the quakes on Friday. Felt like I'd gone back into childhood, with the little house truck, got my feet wet in a stream, talked to donkeys and dogs, and scanned the night sky on my way to the toilet. The toilet is novel too; a composting toilet that separates liquids and solids with the simple expedient of a small hole for wees and a big one for poos. This does mean one has to be more intentional with the process; as a woman, I tend to just sit down and let go!
