Gavin's beautiful, welcoming old church is really well situated in Franklin. Great access to those southern villages, including Tahune- the air walk over the forest.
You won't find a nicer person in Gavin to welcome you to his beautiful home, and we have travelled the world!
The whole section of the church that we stayed in was really well decked out and everything we needed to self cater was right there. We stayed 4 nights and were welcomed with a tour and explanations, plus a lovely welcome bottle of wine, bread, milk and a platter of some of the most beautiful Tassie cheese ever! .......... We settled right in on the lounge with the above supplies and relaxed ready for the next day's activities. Gavin had so many little extra touches, it was just delightful! Oh, and the huge bed was luxurious! We even had a Christmas tree lit up for us.
Franklin village itself has everything you need and wonderful eating and coffee places too! Everyone is so friendly.............
I would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing and interesting place to stay with a truly wonderful and thoughtful host in Gavin.
