| what once was Scheigis's NZ home, is now the Reef Lodge, an apartment style resort. one can vacation here for low rates, even during high tourist season - if you want to enjoy your own private beach & mountains!!! |
| the hospitality portion of the Reef Lodge, lined with banana trees. although a very private & secluded area, all of the apartments were booked when i was there in December. some of the guests i met were from Japan, England, Sydney- Australia, and Seattle-Washington! |
| today - the only remaining portion of the George Scheigis (Jurgis Seizys) legacy, is the cementitious steps that marked the entrance to his store and house. |
| this is the apartment, where i stayed for 3 days (wish it was longer!) - in a quaint, modest bungalow, situated on the very foundations of great-Uncle Jurgis's amber store and Post Office Rangaunu Harbour view from my apartment's patio: during low tide, i had a direct view of the Scheigis Rock formation, as though it was there to greet me in the early mornings! |
