The weather is really warming up here ...22 degrees celcius today and sun breaking through the shower clouds. as i say to guests when they ask ' is it going to rain today?' "...maybe...it is only the Irish who truly know why the grass is so green"

oh and here is the quote from Lonley Planet...thank you George Dunford, Lonely Planet :
" Ann's is a unique and affordable motel that has family charm (some rooms feature pictures of Ann's sons) and an ever-friendly host who knows a lot about local tourism.
This always-welcoming spot is all about the character of its wonderful owner, from the gardens (designed by Ann's gran) to the Pacifica-inspired decor. Even the 'Do Not Disturb' sign features quirky options like 'We have escaped our 12hr-a-day jobs and truly deserve to be left in peace!' Each room is named after a local volcano or geothermal feature: The Crater features a spa snuggled into its courtyard. For larger groups there's a house next door that Ann rents out at negotiable rates, though it books up in advance during summer and holidays. Some might quibble about the noise in the streetside rooms, but Ann's is a genuine place in the middle of RotoVegas's plastic. When Ann gives you tips on activities or says she'll get you a deal on a hangi, you know she's the real deal. "
