Our family of 4 (2a, 2k) stayed with Lisa and Scott for 4 nights over Christmas. We used their place as a home base to explore Franz Josef glacier, gloworm caves at Charleston and as a starting point for the TranzAlpine Express. Lisa and Scott were the most welcoming hosts! We had homemade bread and fresh eggs every morning. Our kids loved all the animals. The room came with animal feed and our kids loved feeding the chickens, sheep and horses. The resident eels are especially cool to watch!
We loved our stay here and would recommend to other families with younger kids (<10).
