An island, a lover, a friend is all you need along with you as you travel over the Hauraki Gulf to a paradise of beautiful beaches, eloquent food and discerning wines await you for a relaxing four days soon... Views of the ocean to calm the spirit, wines that melt as they slip across your palate. Savour culinary delights, take time to relax but with a little adventure thrown in around an epicurean experience curated with every little detail taken care of. Just be ready on the morning of Tuesday 6th April.
Darling – Happy Birthday!
What follows is a personally tailored and considered celebration designed for your birthday.
You are a very special lady and human being and in the spirit of us being 95’ers and the motto, LIVE – LOVE – LAUGH, I look forward to sharing a magical times away celebrating your special day and us as a couple.
Begin with a journey across the sea…a little ocean that takes you to a cup of tea. A cup of tea that is just for you, blended to your own personality and something to sip and savour another time.
But if you are a coffee lover, then this is the village of coffee!
Now you must collect a little bit of Italy….something to savour later in a bay of blue on a blanket looking out to the gulf with a vineyard at your back.
Ooooh lunch is needed before you indulge in anything such as chocolate so enjoy a place that is one of our favourites and should be calm, quiet and off the beaten track apart from the locals who know a good bite to eat!
In the afternoon, you will wind your way through tiny island roads as you climb to the top of the world rewarded with a view. Here you can relax, soak away your aches, reflect with a glass of nectar, stare at the beauty of a view that will soothe your soul whilst you both look into each other’s eyes.
Fall to sleep with the lull of silence and waken to a new day of experience.
Did you forget to bring something Italian for breakfast, hopefully Aaron took care of a protein, a carb, a dairy offering and a coffee as you linger over a morning view that never dissappoints.
Oh but now, the pace picks up as you whiz through the air, will you scream?
Don’t forget to take in the view before you wander for lunch but be careful, you can’t eat a lot. Just a little please…
Return to base and take a moment to dress up as much as you can. This is a moment to capture in time. Something to look back on. Make sure you have bubbles to celebrate a smile, a recording of a moment together before you change into relaxed casual, comfy clothing that folds as you do in the arms of your man.
Now for something unique. A man who has cooked for British prime ministers and who doesn”t throw his talent out to anyone. Sit quitely and take in the morsels of divinity as this could be a religious experience.
Are you ready to rest for another day of curated moments?
More to come…
Thursday has the shimmer of diamonds on the ocean as you celebrate the last of your island break together. Your morning should be relaxing before you head out to explore. Your journey will mean you need to stop often to take a picture, every turn a new view of a special island before a special lunch in a special place. Soak up the history maybe?
All will be revealed…
Friday, how about you decide what the morming looks like before your departure?
