Astrid and Frank were great! We arrived late after a drive from Nelson that day and they welcomed us. Astrid offered us a simple meal and we settled in. The apartment was cozy, comfortable and clean with everything we needed. We woke up to an amazing view of the mountains and river. Frank gave us clear directions to the Routeburn Track trail head and we found it easily. The next morning we left after a wonderful chat with them both. Very gracious hosts. If we could rate our stay higher than a 5 we would.
