As other reviewers have stated clearly, Mary is an incredible host and our stay at Rancho Relaxo was wonderful. All communication was quickly responded to and from the minute we met Mary and Tim, they were welcoming and immediately made us feel at home. We were a multi generational family enjoying a weekend in the Hawkes Bay and we all enjoyed the run of the house; grandchildren loved the chickens and dogs while the adults relaxed with great Hawkes Bay wine.
I think that I am a great cook but Mary is exceptional and makes it all look so easy. Our breakfasts were superb with everything that you could possibly want as well as show-casing of local produce, especially the fruit and eggs from the property. The scrambled eggs were the best that we have had! We took the option of an evening meal and that was amazing. Home-made foccacia, lamb cooked in the outside oven along with great vegetables and salads with freshly roasted fruit and specialty ice creams. Superb! Thanks Mary for a very relaxing stay in Rancho Relaxo. Highly recommended!
