A customer is the most important visitor to our business.
He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him.
He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it.
He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it.
We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.
“Mahatma Gandhi”
I am here day and night and visitors are always welcome to come and enjoy the gypsy vanners. However it is necessary to let me know when you would like to come as it is just about impossible to find me when working on the farm. So please either phone or email if you would like to come and visit. I always answer all my emails within a few days. If you have not received a reply it is possibly a lost email in cyber space so do not hesitate to phone instead.
Below is instructions on how to find Brightwater Gypsy Vanners and if you get lost, just ask a neighbour where the gypsy horses are. I am situated on the corner of Ryan and Mangawhai Road in Wellsford so easy to find and most have seen the horses and they all seem to know where the horse lady is!
- from Auckland follow State Highway #1 north
- past Wellsford and through Te Hana
- 1 kilometres north of Te Hana turn right at Mangawhai/Tomorata Junction (Twin Coast Discovery Road)
- approximately 5.5 kilometres turn left onto Ryan Road
- we are the first driveway on right hand side, #50 Ryan Road - look for the big red roof
DO NOT use a GPS to find us as you will end up in Waipu, 1 hour north of here.
