Gerry was an amazing host. Everything in his place was in order. He even prepared thoughtful touches like a map and some snacks. He patiently toured us around and answered all our questions (eg. recommendations on where to walk around and dine). Gerry's place is along the highway and accesible with a car. It is halfway between Franz Josef and Fox Glacier/Lake Matheson. We loved how Gerry's place was quiet and had a beautiful backdrop of the mountains. We did not have enough time to trek to get a good mountain view but Gerry's place was enough.
