Beautiful location, and just a few minutes out of town. Quiet and tranquil. Spacious unit and well appointed. The view is spectacular! The owners were kind and thoughtful. The place itself is very well laid out. I can't wait to go back.

We liked that the property was out on the edge of town instead of in the centre.

− The bathroom could have been a bit bigger.

Comfortable and cosy with an amazing view.

Comfortable out of town accommodation.

7.0

Great views of mountains and in the country side. Comfortable unit. Really appreciated the generator supplying power when the power went out due to wild weather.

− No cook top just a microwave and electric frypan but that was manageable. Tiny bathroom but clean and adequate. Mainly quiet but some highway noise in the morning.

Glacier outlook and quiet surroundings, who could ask for more.

9.0

We loved the cabin and it's location. To wake up in the morning and look onto the Fox Glacier was brilliant. Good communication from our hosts made finding answers settling in easy, thank you so much.

− As my wife has mobility issue and finds stairs hard to do, the 2 large steps onto the verandah were a challenge, but once inside all was good. The low comfortable bed was also something we needed to workout in the mornings, but we managed.
