Private forest retreat with 3 super king en-suites

SimonRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Lovely stay in a secluded farm setting close to Franz Josef Glacier. The house had plenty of thoughtful personal touches and was surrounded by beautiful scenery — very peaceful and enjoyable. It did feel a bit isolated at times, and the power outage around 11pm for about an hour was a bit unsettling. But overall, it was a unique and memorable experience, and we really enjoyed our time there.

Luxury Lake House on Edge of Lake & Glacier Views

ShariRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had an incredible stay at the Lake House! Jody and Barney have done an amazing job including extra special touches that make this stay remarkable in a truly beautiful part of the world. Jody was great for local suggestions and helped organise a birthday cake for my husband prior to our arrival. Unfortunately the guests before us were inconsiderate of the off-grid setup and did not adhere to the house rules and we arrived with no power or running water. Jody went out of her way to correct this, supplying additional amenities, a meal voucher and crediting us some of the night fee while a generator helped to restore power overnight. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space! We hope to be back one day.

Incredible bnb! Their home is a gem in such a tranquil setting. Glow worms right in their yard! Room and bath are squeaky clean, access to kitchen and the fridge is provided, and there was breakfast available! It’s close enough to walk to a restaurant, laundry, and the kiwi center. They are both wonderful people and Rocco is beautiful!
