What our guests are saying

"We went on our adventure with Ash with enthusiasm and we were not disappointed.  His knowledge is superb and he sets the scene for you.  We were engrossed in the panning process and, to our delight, we found gold. It added another dimension to our Coromandel visit."  Facebook recommendation - Pam, October 2019
