Madeleine's place at Whataroa is beautifully done up and fully equipped with all big city dwellers' essentials (e.g., a full functional kitchen, laundry, Netflix, etc.) It comes with a big living and dining areas that are rarely found in other Airbnb places.
It is surrounded by incredible West Coast farm views and snowing mountains in the backdrop. It is a peaceful place 30min drive away from Franz Josef town. A short drive from the house is Whataroa Wetland park which offers a truly relaxing walk, accompanying with beautiful natural scenes and birds. On a clear night, the sky is filled with stars!
Together with the house and the 100% pure New Zealand natural setting, it provides a wonderful guided dairy farm tour that we don't get to experience in our home country - Singapore.
Madeleine is a fantastic and warm host. If there is a higher rating than a Superhost, we would nominate her to be an Airbnb's Ultimate-host.
This place has given us an unforgettable memory at Whataroa, Fox Glacier, Franz Josef. We would recommend anyone to stay at least 2-3 nights at Madeleine's place in order to visit and enjoy the uniquely New Zealand West Coast fully.
