The first trip of the 2023/24 season was the West Coast and Marlborough Trip. The season started early, after having received a call from a potential guest, Peter, who was going to be in the Westport area to do some fishing mid-October and was keen to do the Marlborough/West Coast trip. I agreed to run the trip and a few weeks later, I got a call from a regular guest, Gordon, who had recently bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee and was keen to test it out off-road.
Game on! We all agreed to spend the night before the trip and the first night of the trip at the historic Top House Hotel. This is my normal “go to” place and is a real hidden gem!
The hotel was bought a couple of years ago by Helen and Clint and I can't say enough good things about it. They are excellent hosts and have worked tirelessly to make the place really special.
