Honestly, I am not sure where to begin.. Everything about this BNB is truly remarkable. From the minute we send a request, all aspects were outstanding. Communication, responsiveness, addressing needs, suggesting options, I can write about so many attributes about them. They are such a down to earth people and this was one of the best BNB experience during our entire visit in NZ. Maria and Frank are really caring, they offered us to join for dinner with them and when they found out we are vegetarians, they provided suggestions for nice restaurants.

Their house is at perfect location and one of the most beautiful houses we stayed in NZ (I would say better than even some of the 5 star hotels in NZ). Maria’s attention to details and making sure to provide everything you need during stay is unbelievable. The decoration in room, the cleanliness, bed/ pillows, towels, bathroom, amenities, the quality of everything including food for breakfast they provide is the best in class. I assure you, the minute you step in their house you will find suddenly a very different and soothing experience, as if you are in your home or may be even better.

If you are considering to be in this part of NZ and you are reading this review then take my word and do not think twice, just go ahead and book it with Maria and Frank. In fact, I would say that if you need a one night stay before/ after taking ferry, then do not even consider staying in Picton but stay with these beautiful and loving couple. Their house is only 20mins from Picton and the Blenheim city is so beautiful. I can guarantee you will not go wrong and after staying with them you will appreciate as much as we do.

If anything that was wrong was us staying there only for one night. My family and I talked several times that wish we had stayed there at least for 2 nights. There are many things to do in city as well so again, if you are reading this then please take my word and book it with them. You will not go wrong and certainly will not regret.

Dear Maria and Frank, once again thank you for your excellent hospitality, caring nature, spending time with us to talk about family and your WW experience. This was the best stay we had in NZ and we will always remember and cherish the sweet memories. Thank you for having us in your beautiful home. You both made our stay one of the best during our north and south island trip. Wish you all the best and I truly hope that some other BNB owners come and stay with you to learn from you that they should not treat BNB just as money making business but it is about giving an extraordinary experience that people can remember lifelong. Thank you and hopefully our paths cross again somewhere in future. Take care!!!
