We spent two nights here for a Fox Glacier tour. The room was spacious and comfortable (it has a shared bathroom but nobody else seemed to be using it.) We didn't meet the hosts, but they were in contact to arrange our check-in, etc, and made sure we found our way to our room. The yard is pleasant and surrounded by trees (including a little grove of glow worms just off the driveway - labeled and easy to find). Our only complaints were the relatively high noise level from work being done in the shed, and a large number of mosquitoes in the room on the second night (no screens, which seems standard for NZ.) We visited during an unusually hot month, which may have contributed.
