My boyfriend and I only stayed at Takoha and Simon's place for one night, but we genuinely wish we could have stayed longer. The room and the house were unexpectedly spacious, warm, and inviting in the best way possible. It had so much charm, and it was the most "homey" place we've stayed at in a long while during our road trip around New Zealand. We weren't able to meet Takoha, but Simon was super friendly and helpful with showing us around the house as well as things to do around Franz Josef. The WiFi was fast, and the complimentary breakfast in the morning was a wonderful touch to make our stay that much better. Bonus - we got to meet some other really cool, friendly travelers who were also staying in other rooms in the house! Overall, we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend anyone reading this to go ahead and book with Simon and Takoha! You won't regret it, and we will definitely try to book with them again the next time we're around Franz Josef. Thanks again you guys! :)
