Absolutely the BEST Airbnb experience thus far, and this was my 7th in NZ. Perfect place, nicely furnished, very clean, spacious and comfortable. More importantly Pip and Kevin are the best- very generous with their time and gracious welcoming hosts.
When I arrived Pip made me feel right at home and part of her family by inviting me to a fabulous dinner at her place that she was hosting for her friends. Kevin himself had hunted deer and goat and it was true NZ fresh wild game dinner experience. We had a marvelous time and I was honored to have been included with her friends.
Pip went hiking with me when I was hesitant to go hiking after seeing snow in the mountains. Even though she was supposed to do the same hike the very next day with her friends, she generously took the time to hike with me and show me what is best about Saint Arnaud. If she hadn’t come with me, I probably would not have gone on the hike and I would have missed out on a great hike, fantastic views and experience. I’m grateful she forced me to go by coming with me and taking the time to make sure I experienced the beauty of NZ to the fullest extent.
I had an absolutely grand time at her lovely home. I cannot thank Pip and Kevin enough for making me feel like part of their family and making my stay there wonderful. Shining example of true hospitality!
I would be remiss if I did not mention Finn their energetic puppy, who is loads of fun! He will greet you with a wiggling bum and tail, which I have dubbed the Finn Samba!
