It was a great pleasure to meet Frances and getting to know a little bit about her and family, we really enjoyed our chats over the course of our stay over couple of days. My daughter was very very pleased that she got to meet Bella :) Frances played a perfect host and ensured that we felt totally at HOME. Her breakfast spread was the best we had in NZ, as many others before me have mentioned, she was very accommodating to our choice of food, which was a delight. She was gracious enough to allow us to use her kitchen amenities, which we needed to use for our child's picky eating habits. The views from the house are very scenic and how i wish i could wake up everyday to those beautiful white roses with the hills in the background. PERFECT!!! Highly recommended!!!
