Lives up to their name - Nature and Nosh !
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Nature and Nosh in March and highly recommend to anyone wishing to walk a beautiful selection of the NZ countryside. The accommodation was great, the food delightful and Rose (our guide) was excellent in every way. A lot of NZ being vertical, some of the walks had their challenges – but that is what walking is all about! The flexibility, both with Kylie arranging our trip, and throughout our trip was amazing. Rose catered for every occasion and whim! Being a slightly shorter private trip of five days we had the advantages of doing what we liked but missed out on the camaraderie of a small group trip. This was more than made up for by the friendly NZ locals and by Rose - our guide. We highly recommend Nature and Nosh for anyone who likes their walking, their food, and like minded people !!

Once in the life time experience
One of the best experience in my life.

Although this was my first tramping experience , Kylie and her team has taken the utmost care.

From food to tramping everything was meticulously organised.

Also, I have learned some life lessons from Irene ( our guide) she is one of the best soul one can come across.

Anita, she did not just fed us but pour her heart and love in every dishes. We felt like her extended family.

If you think it is dear then let me tell you, not every dollar but every cent is worth..

Jane & Syd from Kainui lodge were good too. what a view from their lodge..

The views , the batch , the whole journey cannot describe in the words, one has to go and feel it...

Kylie, be ready for our next tour...

No better way to spend your day!
Solo
Had an amazing day out on the tour with Kylie and Peter. The weather was amazing which made for a stunning walk along the coast followed by so much food. The ice cream and visit to the farm topped it all off. I felt very relaxed and welcomed by everyone and we were never rushed. I would absolutely recommend this tour to others.

The prefect balance of feet moving and face feeding.
Couples
Starting the day discovering we were the only 2 on the tour allowing us to monopolise both the highly experience guide Peter and the bubble and knowledgable host Kylie we set off our journey to discover the highest of waterfalls, heat ravaged fields, the bluest and clearest of waters, the yummiest of cheeses and the best thirst quenching wines the Waikato has to offer. We finished the day with a new appreciation of the natural landscapes and culinary gems that seem to be in such abundance in this part of NZ. Peter has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the landscape and a tale for every occasion whilst Kylie kept us to schedule with good humour and regional insights that make this a tour both of us cannot recommend highly enough.

So great to be able to host you both for the day, it's always a pleasure when the company is so good. Thanks for the lovely review. I hope it was a pleasant dose of nostalgia for you travelling through the Waikato and really hope you managed to find that good old kiwi pie you were searching for!
