Have no hesitation when considering to book here! Beautiful home and gardens, spacious suite style room (two separate rentals with en suite bathroom in each, shared kitchenette and washer space with most anything you can think of needing plus a BBQ!)
We had an great midday tea with Frank & Maria after settling in to our room and taking a little tour of the space we could use and lovely gardens. They were able to expand our knowledge of the wine country area and offer great suggestions (like the platters at Geissen - really good! and a good dinner spot - we really enjoyed Dodson's, which others recommended throughout the day as well.)
The rooms as kitchen were very cozy and had everything we needed. We actually decided to stay an extra night we were having such a great time. This allowed us to take advantage of the BBQ to grill up a couple of fabulous fillets, and Maria even enhanced our meal with herbs, a few small veggies and a salad with great fresh lemon vinaigrette. Morning cereal, yogurt or toasts and spreads was highlighted with delicious fresh fruits and complete with juice or their fresh lemons for your water.
We will always try to stay with Frank & Maria on our visits to Southland New Zealand as we loved visiting with them and discussing their world travels. And we will certainly recommend to everyone we know.
