Insurance brokage company in New Zealand.
As owner of the Global Village Travellers Lodge, in Greymouth, New Zealand, and keen bike traveller myself. (Africa/Australia/NZ/ Europe, mostly on XT600's) I am always pleased to offer complimentary hospitality to RTW motorcyclists visiting the south island of NZ as part of their tour, both at the hostel, and in my own home. A call or email a few day before is a good idea, especially during the peak summer months.
