I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this house! We had complete privacy but were made to feel so welcome from the very start. It took about 20mins to drive to Franz Josef Glacier and about 45mins to Fox Glacier making it the perfect location if you're visiting glacier country. There was so much room for families or two couples like I was travelling with, and Barbara catered wonderfully with ample bedding, towels, toiletries, blankets, cooking utensils and even board games! It was also the perfect location to go for some nice casual walks or play sport in the back yard. After a few days of travelling and staying in busy cities and hotels this house was the perfect getaway to stay with friends, cook, eat, BBQ, watch movies, play board games and relax. A big thank you to Barbara for having us and making us feel so welcome.
