Hi,
Can you please amend the phone number you have for Hikuraki Lodge, as it is actually our home phone number – 03 249 8014. We keep getting calls from people trying to reach the lodge.
With thanks,
Sylven
Sorry about the confusion, Sylven. Have taken down the phone number from the site. Wish we knew the right one, though.
Hi Ian,
Thank you, I appreciate that (feel free to remove my comment also – I thought I was emailing not commenting!). The DOC site also lists our number so I think we are getting a lot of calls from lots of different sources. I don’t know what their real number is unfortunately.
Best wishes,
Sylven
