Disenchanted by farm stay and B&B experience in New Zealand

Unfortunate encounter: Stewart Island is beautiful but our reader

Reader Jo Lean* from Kuala Lumpur shares about an unpleasant vacation experience in New Zealand.

DURING a recent trip to New Zealand , we were booked into two farm stays and two bed and breakfast (B&B) homes organised by our NZ tour operator. Our family of four, including two young children, were excited at the thought of experiencing a part of the famous Kiwi hospitality we had heard so much of. We had stayed before in B&Bs in Britain and the United States, and each experience had been excellent.
