Francine and his husband Stuart are so thoughtful and welcoming. We arrived at almost 9 pm and everything was closed. We even went to Darfield to see whether any restaurant was open. To our surprise, Francine and Stuart had prepared food in the fridge & cupboard! They had everything from eggs, bacon, bread, all kinds of sauce and seasonings. Our family joked that you saved our lives! Literally! And not to mention the house is well-decorated, very homey and comfortable. Sadly we only stayed for a night. Will definitely come back if we travel to NZ again. Thank you Francine and Stuart! Hope to meet you both again!
