Judith and Danny were great hosts. It's much nicer than the photos! If you appreciate good design, which we do, they did a great job designing the bathroom and kitchen. It's recently built with beautiful woodwork throughout, a unique small house. Thoughtful design. Very tidy and clean. I think they'll update the sofa soon though. Like many accommodations in NZ the stairs were steep. A little cozy for 4 adults but a family would be perfect. Good location for Franz Josef, Fox Glacier, and don't miss Lake Matheson (Judith' recommendation ). We highly recommend a stay here. Arrive in daylight hours.
