We were surprised to be able to stay at such a nice farmhouse when we arrived the place. It is right in the middle of the dreamland, where the sheeps, horses, cows, dogs and cat are living harmonious together. The house is very easy to find as it is right at the side of the center of the village of Fox Glacier. The lake Matheson is just 4 to 5KM away where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Cook in the morning and also the fresh air in the forest. Should you like to climb to the glacier, it is only five minutes drive. Everything is just perfect. But the most amazing is that Kirsty and John have a very lovely daughter who is called Meady (Kirsty and John, forgive me if I get the name wrongly). She is so nice and friendly to everyone especially to my daughter. They are getting along so well that we feel it is truly worth to stay with a family as such. Kirsty was not at home as she had to be away with her sons in Twizel for a Row competition. John instead took very good care of us and we had really good chats during the stay. My wife already aligned with John that she can come back with our daughter for a one-week stay in the summer time. We strongly recommend to stay with Kirsty & John in their lovely farmhouse, especially for those who have younger kids.
