I cannot praise Frank and Maria enough. Their house is stunning and they are so friendly and welcoming. We loved staying in their house and we felt so comfortable. We enjoyed a bottle of wine we were given from them. It was very tasty and refreshing (Vicar's Choice, Pinot Gris 2017)! We were also given some fresh figs which made our breakfast a treat.
They recommended to us places to go and we visited most of them and I must say we had a fabulous time. We also wanted to buy a gift for our friend's wedding that we are attending in Napier in a couple of days and they recommended a place just a couple of houses up the road. It's a French furniture place and we found the most amazing clock there which could be personalised and picked up in a couple of hours. We had such a great time in this area that I am even considering moving from London to New Zealand with my kiwi husband :). He is very pleased to hear this!
One last thing to mention, Frank is a writer and I had a chance to read two chapters of his book and then I decided to buy it off him. It's very entertaining and makes you chuckle :). Exactly what you want on your holiday. He even signed it for me!
Thank you Frank and Maria for a wonderful couple of days.
Love Jana & Will
