After researching many different Airbnb options in the area we chose to stay with Frances and Julian because they were so easy to communicate with and had a beautiful location. From the very first message we sent, they went above and beyond our highest possible expectations. They quickly and very accurately answered the many questions we had, helped research local details for us, and were incredible with whom to deal.
Traveling with two kids across the world has been very challenging for our family, but staying with Julian and Frances has made our experience in NZ so much easier and relaxing.
What we found upon arrival was better than we could have anticipated. In our month-long stay, they have provided us with a clean, quiet, spacious living area. They anticipated all of our needs and continued to go above and beyond every day of our stay. They've been an invaluable source of local knowledgeable advice that only locals can really provide. I was even able to attend an amazingly fun drawing workshop right on site.
I don't think we will ever be able to repay their kindness. We are so thankful for the amazing month in their Airbnb. We are planning on doing more traveling around New Zealand and we look forward to visiting them again in the very near future. Thank you!
