Keith + Co Give Kiwis a Great Name

Keith and co were the friendliest welcome to the South Island. Made it a point to help us with local recommendations in the area after our bags were delayed by multiple days. The suite we had was LOVELY, comfy robes and a French press. Felt like a slice of luxury among happy, helpful people for our one night stay.
