We were not able to meet Kristy while we were there due to family illness but her husband was very welcoming and accommodating. The home was very beautifully built and came with a very long and strong family history. We had Continental breakfast provided every morning with coffee, tea, juice. Our Franz Josef ice trekking was cancelled due to weather but we were thankful for the information given at breakfast as was able to change to Fox Glacier and made it up after all. The property is on 100 acres looking out on green grass with sheep, horses, an alpaca, and 4 dogs, and maybe a cat? None of the dogs or cat I saw were allowed in the home but we were welcome to play with them. The house was very clean and the beds were VERY comfortable and stylish. The house is located within walking distance to the town of Fox Glacier and 25 min drive to Franz Josef.
