We stayed two nights in Barbara and Franks guest house and thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartment was self contained and private, beds were lovely and comfortable, and the surroundings were beautiful. You can watch the cows grazing from the kitchen table. The location was fab being only a very short drive from central Palmerston North, but being just far enough out to feel like you are in the middle of the country. Frank and Barbara were so welcoming and friendly and were very helpful with recommendations for eating out which proved to be absolute hits with our family. If down in PN again, we will certainly stay with Frank and Barbara again, highly recommend :)
