We were made very welcome on arrival at this family farmhouse with tea and fresh scones made by Kirsty (who turns out to be quite the rival for UK hand craft queen Kirsty Allsopp - this will be meaningful to Brits) and husband John.

Twin room was good size; beds were dressed with beautiful linen, pillows and cushions and french doors led out onto the house deck. Very comfortable and good night's sleep. The house is in a great location with views out over the fields, but still very close to the centre of Fox Glacier. Fascinating to watch the planes and helicopters to and fro from the mini-airfield nearby.

Bathroom offered both good shower and free-standing claw-footed bath. The bathroom is shared with the other room of the B&B; but this was manageable.

Breakfast in the morning was very sociable and friendly in the house dining / kitchen. Continental breakfast had lots of choice and plentiful.

The most beautiful blue and white hydrangeas wrap around the front of the house. Lots of house dogs to play and watch.
