Beautiful cottage with mountain and sea views

LouiseRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay - the cottage was unique, cosy, spacious and had spectacular views! It was a real treat to be able to warm up in front of the fire in stormy weather. Would highly recommend - a peaceful and beautiful place to stay!

Unique Mountain View Cabin with Outdoor Bath

DeepanjanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Olivia’s place is just awesome. I don’t think there can be a better place to spend time in Fox glacier region. Incredible views, spotless cottage, with all the amenities you can think of. There is so much thought put into every minute detail- the decor, cutlery, furniture, upholstery - right from the colour of the mugs to the lamps, to bath salt and candle - everything is flawless. Lucky to have been here. Lovely, responsive host. Enjoyed the hot tub as well. Great great stay.

Lakeview Cottage with Spa Pool

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Incredible stay at Jody’s, the location was incredible at the foot of the mountains with views down to the lake. Jody had lots of great recommendations, including great hikes and good restaurants in town. It was the perfect place for us to unwind after a big hike, the spa pool was a huge bonus! Thank you Jody!

Mountain Chalet with Spa Access

LynnRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The place was a cute little place that was in an excellent location. It was handy to have a small kitchen & mini fridge to make easy meals. The bathroom was large and nicely decorated. We really loved the hot tub and sauna. The area felt like a spa.

Fairhaven Farm House

KimberlyRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Really lovely place to stay. We enjoyed how tranquil it was out in the country, and we even got a clear night to see the amazing stars! We didn't use the fireplace as there wasn't a fire guard and we had our one year old with us who likes to run head first into everything, but the beds were super warm and thankfully it didn't get too cold during our stay. Definitely planning on coming back again soon :)

Perivale Farm Cottage -

JiwonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Place was so awesome! Nice clean, good space for 3 adults and 2 infants. There was some fresh eggs, fresh milk and mandarins! It was so amazing. As it's farm, in the morning me and my kid could see milking cow, some ducks and chickens with chicks. Shame that we couldn't stay one more day. I really recommend this place.

We loved staying here! It was clean, warm and comfortable. It’s a very close drive to the Fox glacier viewpoint and lake matheson from here. The breakfast provisions was also great to have. Thank you!

Garden View Queen Unit | Glacier Country Motel

AngelaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Cathy's place was perfect for our one night stay. She was kind enough to offer us an upgrade due to a cancellation, which we very much appreciated. The unit was very spacious, clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. It was well heated and the bed was very comfortable. We would recommend a stay at Cathy's place - it certainly met our expectations as a great place to relax after a full day of exploring.

Cozy cottage, great location!

KarynRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This is a lovely spot to relax during a stay at Ross. really comfortable furniture and bed and lovely linen, towels and soaps. It is an easy walk to the beach and the pub for the Sunday buffet. The only downside was that we were unable to stay longer. Peggy was a lovely host with local recommendations, great communication and it was nice to stay somewhere that felt like a home 🫶 Thanks Peggy! We will come back for longer next time.

Franz Alpine Retreat one bedroom Unit -

KadeRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Thanks James for having us. This cabin is a comfortable place for 1-2 people to rest for a night while visiting Franz Josef and surrounds. All the major attractions and services are only 5-10 minutes away by car. Would recommend as straightforward accommodation for those visiting the West Coast.
