Geocache Description:

This castle is steeped in Romance and History. It was built over the period of 25 years after Ron Reid back in England promised his fiancee Dee that if she came out to New Zealand with him, he would build her a castle. What you see now is a tribute to a mans dedication and love!

Behind the imposing stone walls are beautifully landscaped grounds. The owners have allowed garden tours thru here as well as weddings, in fact our son got married here a number of years ago, great place for a wedding.

Ron still lives here although sadly Dee passed away in 2008.
NOTE-- feb 2014, intrigue, the plaque now has Ron's name obliterated and looking into the grounds it looks quite rundown.

April 2015, plaque clean now, although you can still see the stains of the attack.

Cache is a small one, logbook and small items.
