Rob was born in Whitianga, and is a direct descendant of the first European pioneer in Hahei, Robert Wigmore, who came from Ireland in 1841. His passion and enthusiasm for Hahei and the surrounding bays spring from a childhood spent on the family farm and beaches, once considered a remote part of New Zealand. As tourism to the region flourished, Rob has enjoyed sharing the beauty of the location, together with its unique history and geography, with countless visitors.

Rob's local knowledge and heritage is matched in enthusiasm by Pam's creativity in the kitchen and energy in the garden. From pickles and chutneys, to jams and marmalades, Pam puts a special taste of home in every breakfast. Fresh seasonal fruit from the garden accompanies homemade muesli and oven-baked muffins. When Pam isn't busy pruning or preserving, you'll find her reading, sewing, or knitting - or if Rob is willing - dancing! Together, they have 5 children and 9 grandchildren
