Spacious living with great amenities, surrounded by bush, and was perfect for families with kids.

Very spacious, plenty for the little guy to run around! Surrounded by bush. Had a large garage (kept us dry getting in and out of the car when it rained). Washing/drying facilities.

Excellent

I wish I could give 6 or 7 stars if possible! We had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, with a large living and dining area. The kitchen is super well-equipped. In addition to air conditioning, the wood fireplace and electric blankets on each bed kept us very warm during the cold days. The location is quiet yet conveniently close to Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier. We would definitely love to come back!

Clean, peaceful stay in a well kept house that's close to the Franz Josef glacier.

central location, close to town centre where I can easily pick up groceries from 4 squares supermarket and the kiwi conservation centre. It's also a nice stopover if you are driving from Wanaka to Arthur's Pass- allows you to do hiking at both glaciers and visit Lake Matheson. The incidental finding of the rice cooker was a pleasant surprise for the Asian travelers too.

Needed to ration the hot water for baths which the owners did warn us about. Wifi connection not as good when you are in the master bedroom.

A bit cheeky to charge $130 cleaning fee but then require guests to clean up. I would not stay again because of that.

Overall, nice house.

location, kitchen and the amenities and comfortable rooms were very nice.

upkeep of the property could be better attended. Cleaning include-cobwebs, a good detail cleaning around the interior/exterior and garage. Fill in the drive way so folks won’t lose their mufflers. The living room sofas could be replaced. pretty worn out.

Ideal holiday home in a great location

A lovely spacious house, in an ideal position, that had everything we needed. Communication was great, when we had a question it was answered quickly. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Perhaps a few instruction manuals for the equipment in the house would have been useful, but can't say there was anything we didn't like.

Large comfortable house, superbly equipped with everything you need. The kitchen was really well set up with pots, pans, utensils etc. The house is in a lovely private location surrounded by ferns. The owner was a good communicator and helpful. Would stay here again anytime.

Well appointed house in a great location

This property is spotless from top to bottom, boast a very well equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, ensuite & more. It’s handy to local restaurants tour operators & beautiful walks. The house is located in a quiet street and set in a private garden.

We found the bed in the master bedroom to be too soft. There weren’t any toiletries in the ensuite either which we thought unusual. Neither of these things are deal breakers.

A quiet, comfortable, convenient home.

The location was fabulous—quiet, at the end of a cul-de-sac. It was spacious and clean. The covered outdoor space was appreciated as it rained during much of our stay.

Good

The property is in a quiet area not too far from the restaurants and supermarket. Large and spacious with nice decked area at the rear of the property .

The property is in need of updating. The main bathroom has a large bay style window but does not have any blinds so no privacy when bathing or showering . Lack of kindling for the wood burner.
