Frank and Maria are the best hosts we've had in New Zealand and we have had some pretty wonderful hosts. Our room was delightful (they even put in a single for us) with wonderful high ceilings and windows. The bathroom had every modern amenity, new fixtures, two outlets and a magnifying mirror and nice towels. The kitchen had everything we needed (no oven but a microwave) and a great BBQ. If we needed anything, Maria was quick to bring it to us. She gave us fresh vegetables and herbs from their garden. There was also a nice continental breakfast and a basket of fresh fruit. And they gave us a complimentary bottle of wine for staying two nights. There was a washer or us to use and a clothesline. The wifi worked very well.
The room and gardens were lovely but the best part was Maria and Frank. We enjoyed a lovely evening of wine and conversation with them and feel like we have made new friends. We would love to come back to stay again!
