Read our guests' "memories" from the “Nudie Foodie Sounds Adventure 2009”
Dear Mister Nudie Foodie.
Thank you for your creativity and efforts this weekend. Having read about last year's 'Sounds' adventure I was very excited to be able to book for this year. The best part was my expectations were exceed in relation to the whole day and evening. To enjoy the great outdoors naturally is living life to the full. Thank you. Sandra and Kelvin
Everything about the day was great. One thing that made it work was the flexibility and ‘can-do’ attitude of the boat crew. Peter
The weekend promised all the pleasures of life - sunshine, sea, great company, great natural food and an abundance of laughter and fun! It more than delivered and I will be back! Cruising in the paradise of Pelorous Sounds with 30 like-hearted sun-clad souls was such a joy. At the end of the day I felt truly alive and nourished at every level. Thankyou Brian and Kay for all your energy. Blessings. Jules
Company fantastic, food excellent, venue extraordinary. Keep up the good work. Chris
Neat boat trip and food. Marty
Amanda! What a gem - wonderful helper, lovely girl and even calm in a bee sting crisis! Chuck and Marty having a bath in the dinghy. The boat trip was very pleasant. Lovely sunny weather with a light breeze. Staying at Wai-natur is always good and with good company.
Boat trip was great. Would like to stay overnight on boat next time. Great food - Good friends - Great place. Many thanks. Shona and Noel.
Awesome weekend. Picked us both up and had a ball on the boat with a selubrious dinner to cap it all off. Recipes would be appreciated. Thanks for memories, most excellent. Ron and Kerrin Mazey.
What a super weekend. Friendly bunch of people. Thank you for a great weekend. Last but not least the nudi boat trip!!! Robina.
Our most memorable moment on the nudie foodies cruise was docking in Jacobs Bay at what seemed to be a deserted tropical island. What made it even more magical was spotting the biggest stingray we have ever seen just cruising along naturally! Kimberley and Neil
What a great weekend with great company, great food and an awesome boat trip. The setting at Wai-natur is conducive to enable anyone their own space for privacy or to meet around the pool in a relaxed atmosphere. Kay's ability to make people feel welcome is wonderful. The boat was beautiful and the crew very willing to help us enjoy our day out on the water. The evening meal was superb, especially the seafood pie. Yum Yum. Compliments to the chef.
Recipe for a great weekend. My impressions of the weekend are these: A mix of great people stirred up by Kay, add a pinch of Peter and Lesley and a dob of June, a splash of Brian and that created the recipe for a fantastic weekend of excellent food and great companionship. The wonderful help of Amanda was priceless. What a great girl!
Very nice weekend, with good weather and also very well organised. The food was excellent. Peter and Lesley have done a lot of work. The boat trip was beautiful and very funny. Thank you Kay and Brian for this weekend.
My biggest impression was the feeling of community after arriving here. Most people were strangers, but that fact was soon eroded when Peter and I met them for the first time. There was real genuineness in everybody's friendliness. The boat trip was amazing and the dinner was the perfect finale to a wonderful two days. Peter Banham, Autumn Farm, Takaka.
Nudie Foodie Weekend. Feb 20-22 - Impressions: Cruising the Marlborough Sounds with a boatload of naked people, in glorious sunshine, was exhilarating and felt so perfectly natural. Seeing the giant stingray at Jacobs Bay, as though it was there to welcome us. The delightful camaraderie of naturists. Lounging around the pool in the late afternoon with fellow naturists, chatting, sharing our stories over drinks and nibbles, the splash and laughter of folk in the pool. Fleeing to the safety of the boat from the nasty wasps of Jacobs Bay. The unexpectedly good weather. Peter Finlayson, Autumn Farm, Golden Bay.
Had a great time. Met friendly people. Looking forward to coming back again. Anthony De Souza
It was a weekend of much laughter in the company of great new friends. The boat trip was a delight - the seafood flan was brilliant and we loved those little pecan pies. Kay and Brian did a marvellous job of organising a spectacular and fun occasions, with a lovely bunch of people. We'll be back!
