"Dear Pam and Rob, this has been a very special few days here with you at Ferry Landing. We will never forget your kindness and hospitality you have shown us. Thank you for witnessing our marriage and for the help before, during and after. What a wonderful friendship developed in such a short time. We will return one day, love." Lynn & Neale Griffiths, Aston, UK.

"We've had such a great time here at Ferry Landing. Rob & Pam are the most gracious and informative hosts. Our accommodation overlooking the harbour - is fantastic. The beaches nearby are the most beautiful we have seen. We certainly enjoyed being introduced to Gin Wigmore's (Rob's niece) music. We had a blast at the concert at Coroglen Tavern & the Mercury Bay Club New Years Eve party was memorable. Thank you so much for a great stay. Keep in touch and visit us when you come to California. " Susan & Bob Curwen, Apple Valley, California. Curwen Clay Art

"You were very kind and thoughtful hosts and we enjoyed the peaceful location on the harbour and so close to nature. All of your suggestions were very helpful and your sunny breakfasts with Pam's delectable preserves. We will certainly recommend it for quiet weekends away in such a pretty setting. (Lots to do as well)" Eileen & Patrick Hood, Mt Albert Auckland. 9 - 11 July 2010

Sandie and John Byers, Glasgow, Scotland. 14 - 16 March 2010

"Dear Pam and Rob, We've had a wonderful three days with great hospitality, beautiful weather and our compliments to the cook! I feel like we woke each day in a treehouse with all the surrounding trees and the chirping of birds also starting their day. Beautiful! This is our first trip to New Zealand and hopefully not our last. Your part of the world is lovely and worth the drive! Thank you for the walk through history and the home-made breakfasts were the best. Much aloha." Diane & Leroy Pao, Oahu Hawaii. 10 - 13 March 2010

"Dear Pam and Rob, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time staying with you at Ferry Landing Lodge. After 6 visits to the area over 15 years, your lodge is certainly the very best we have experienced. The location close to the ferry gave us easy access to Whitianga as well as to the beaches on your side of the estuary. We found Rob's tour of the Maori Pa site extremely interesting, the breakfasts were great and we very much enjoyed your company." Avice & Gerry Stephenson, Canmore, Alberta, Canada. 23 Feb - 3 March 2010

"Dear Pam & Rob, you have the most amazing home with a view that cannot be described in a few words as it is idyllic. I felt like I got to know the true NZ by staying here and apart from the fantastic hospitality, (great company, comfort and healthy breakfasts which I adored). I think you both make the perfect Host and Hostess. You make everyone so welcome and 'at home' that it makes your stay so much more than a visit. Thank you for making my stay memorable. Please keep in touch. London is beautiful in December so expect to see you then!! Running out of space.......but have to say how much you both made me so welcome in your beautiful home." Sue O Connor, 74 Woodmere Avenue, Shinley, Croydon, Surrey, CRO7PD England, UK. 22 - 25 January 2010 Interior Design UK.

"Pam & Rob - For someone who admires Capt Cook so much, this is a very special place. Literally walking in his footsteps is such a kick! The site is beautifully done up, the tour by Rob up the hill was a total thrill - on several levels. Hearing Rob play guitar was also a special heart-pounding moment. Pam's bubbliness spills over into her hospitality and extends out into so many aspects of our 3 day stay! Very special treatment here, given by unique people. Your hard work has certainly produced a wonderful environment for your guests. The view is glorious - Pam's jams - priceless." Gail Geibel, NYC 25 - 28 April 2009.
"Rob & Pam - "You rock! Loved the garden, bush, fruit, delicious jams & Rob's walk. And of course your company & the evening at Mercury Bay Club. Thanks so much." Clair Beckmann & Ron Nixon, USA. 25-28 April 2009

"Dear Pam & Rob, words cannot describe how happy, relaxed and content we have been at Ferry Landing Lodge. Your hospitality towards us has been amazing. Its been like being with good, close family. We only hope that we are fortunate to come and stay again one day. This has been the perfect end to our holiday, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Many many thanks."
Justin & Lynn Ramdat, Solihill, UK.

"Second time at your place and as promised with our parents. Everyone had a great stay and enjoyed the surroundings as well as your hospitality. Definitely an excellent place to stay on the Coromandel Peninsula. We might even be back another time................" Yves, Sarah Barthelet and whanau. Gisborne / France

"I am so glad that friends Sandie & John Bayers told me about you. Could not possibly have stayed anywhere better. Having been to Whitianga over 36 Years ago and stayed in a caravan, this was the icing on the cake for me, retracing my steps. Rob & Pam Your home is just wonderful. Friendly chatter, beautiful views, wonderful fruit and company all added to the holiday. It was great to stay with such passionate people about the area with such a wealth of knowledge to give. "
Joy McLeod, Kilbarchan, Scotland. 13-16 March 2011
