What a warm welcome we received from Raelene and Colin! We were greeted like old friends and sat having a drink and a chat in the family kitchen, after being shown our beautiful, tastefully decorated room overlooking a stunning garden.
The property has spectacular views of Fox Glacier and is very close to Lake Matheson. Even in the rain, the reflections at both the property and Lake Matheson were fabulous, so I can only imagine what they are like on a clear day.
In the evening, we took a 15-minute walk (take a torch!) up the road to Betsy Jane's for some dinner, as recommended by Raelene. It did not disappoint, although we had a short wait as it was so popular.
A great spot - with a super comfy bed - and fantastic, friendly hosts.
