Definitely one of the highlights of our trip around the Southern island. Both John and Kirsty were incredibly warm upon arrival. After being shown our room, which was spacious and relaxing with a jaw dropping view, our hosts gave us directions to view an unsigned look out of Fox Glacier which was only a short distance away from their house. The pets, especially Wag the pup, added a strong sense of homeliness which was thoroughly enjoyed whilst in the midst of travelling abroad. A mere two minute drive to the centre of town and we were able to find a decent restaurant then proceed back to the house - all without the aid of google maps. Waking up we had conversations with our hosts and other guests while we devoured a continental breakfast large enough to comfortably satisfy an army. It should also be noted that John helped us get the ice off our car with no request and Kirsty allowed us to use both her washing machine and drier, with no hesitation. These small acts of genuine kindness were above and beyond what we ever expected but they are highly appreciated. Thank you for both for the the great experience and allowing us to share your home. I would eagerly recommend anyone travelling through Fox Glacier to reserve a night to stay with you both. Kindest regards, Jacinta and Jerome.
