We were not particularly impressed with this place and didn’t enjoy our stay there.

The listing advertised a room with a queen bed, a TV, and tea/coffee making facilities. When we arrived, we were shown to a different room with single beds, no TV and no tea/coffee setup. We didn’t make a fuss since there were other guests staying in the room we had booked and any complaining would have inconvenienced them. On the following morning we were told to move into the correct room. However, the way it was delivered felt much more like an order than the apology we would have expected for the hosts having booked someone else into our room.

The property has very thin walls and is home to a number of rambunctious children who were running wild at late hours, yelling along the length of the house, slamming doors, etc. which prevented us from getting a good night’s sleep.

The combined kitchen/lounge/dining room space was a bit of a mess and the hosts looked dishevelled at breakfast time.

The house is home to a cat, but only dogs were mentioned in the listing.

The location is a short walk to Fox Glacier village, but be aware that the town doesn’t have much in the way of amenities - maybe 2-3 places to eat and a general store. Not the hosts’ fault of course, just something to be aware of.

For the same price, we stayed in a number of much better accommodations during our trip to NZ. We couldn’t really recommend this place.
