We stayed three nights here to enjoy the excursions both Franz Josef (half an hour north along a winding road) and Fox Glacier have to offer. The spacious Aoraki room with large windows in front (mountain view) and back is 24m2 with an en-suite shower room (3.5m2); rather bare in relation to decorations. Karin give us a very detailed and... More

The owner and our hostess, Karen Simpson, had our room very well apppointed, spotless and comfortable. Karen is a delightful, engaging person and made us feel at... More

Great rooms - spacious, warm and comfy beds. Great host - what Karen doesn't know about touring the South Island is not worth knowing and gave us lots of ideas and tips. And breakfast - served with a smile and just keeps on coming.

A really comfortable stay for me and my family (2 adults, 2 children). We were given a 2 room apartment with huge bed for the adults and twin beds for the kids with an interconnecting bathroom. All were spotlessly clean and luxurious. Karen was really welcoming and an absolute gem in terms of knowledge of the whole of South Island.... More

Karen is a fantastic host with a wealth of local knowledge that turns a visit into a memorable experience. Our room was well appointed and very comfortable. We were advised to rise early to get the best pictures of Mount Cook. Karen had breakfast ready on our return neither disappointed.... we plan to be back!

We spent two nights here in a room that had spectacular views of Mts. Cook and Tasman. When we weren't enjoying the mountain view, we enjoyed conversing with Karen Simpson and enjoying her harty and delicious breakfasts. The rooms were clean, cpmfortable though simple in their appointments. We would definitely recommend staying here.

We stayed here for 2 nights and were not dissapointed. The house is in a great location (very quiet) with one of the best views of Fox Glacier and the mountains. Our room was very comfortable with an en-suite and a small private terrace at the back. The back of the house is nice as well, with open views of... More
