It would be a perfect place if you are driving south to Franz Joseph Glacier, Fox Glacier or Mount Cook. It’s very quiet and easy to find. The beds are very soft. Wi-Fi’s great and it’s easy to find. The house is a bit old but you’d have everything you need here, even an international plug adapter.
Al is very nice and responds very fast. His instructions are very clear so we had no problem finding our way to the house (even being first time to NZ). Personally I love 3 stuff uniquely from Al’s place - the fresh milk from the farm, ‘the free range eggs from our happy hens’, and the view from the master bedroom in the morning ( I felt they were trying to say good morning to us... just so cute).
