This accommodation was one of our favorites in New Zealand and we will definitely stay here again. The room was very large, immaculately clean, and very modern and private. The king size bed was so comfortable! The large windows face the open fields where the deer are roaming and they often move close to the windows, which was amazing to watch.
Kaylen and her family were great with directions, suggestions of what to do/where to go, and offered to let us join her when she fed the deer. She also provided a wonderful breakfast with a variety of items every morning. She is a fantastic host!
We highly recommend this place and hope to come back soon.
For those traveling up/down the west coast, we chose to stay here for two nights and on the day between we drove to Franz Josef glacier, Fox glacier, and Lake Matheson for the hikes, had lunch and dinner, and then returned to the Deer Park. It was perfect and not too much driving, as the Deer Park was only 25 minutes north of Franz. We wish we had time to stay another night!
