Super cute cottage and very comfortable beds. Surprise benefit of an outdoor spa and sauna. Clearly a labour of love from the owners. Will hope to stay again and recommend to friends and family. Perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 school age kids.

Eco-tiny house vibes, the chalets are just perfect for couple or young families. They have clearly been built with real love and a personal touch which is visible in the details of the finishing. Best for self catering as they are a little out of Franz Josef village, but the kitchenette is thoughtfully appointed with everything you need to make a great meal including a nice oven and gas hob. The master bed was so comfy with beautiful linen and waking to rain on the roof just over our heads was a scrummy. The shared spa and sauna with mountain views was a treat - and the spa is the cleanest water I’ve ever seen in a share situation. Only thing is the stairs are steep so if may not be great for those with poor mobility. No TV (which is a plus in my eyes) but great wifi. The negative reviews here are missing the point. This is an escape to a beautifully designed and appointed tiny house / chalet in the middle of one of the most beautiful spots in NZ, not a hotel. Can I live here please?

A beautiful location and very peaceful and quiet. The cabin is very rustic and to be honest not really what we expected. It's obviously been lovingly built with good intentions. The stairs were interesting (handmade) and going to the bathroom at night meant waking my partner as they creaked and squeaked loudly. Also negotiating them was tricky especially when half asleep. The bedrooms are all in the same open roof cavity with a sloping low roof, which we kept banging our heads on (ouch!). The main bed unfortunately was uncomfortable. Very soft and we rolled into the middle. It needs replacing. The place was very clean. The hosts were friendly and accommodating.

Stayed for two nights. What a unique place to stay. Two bedroom “tiny house” with everything we needed. Very clean, great location, very quiet. Highlight was the hosts Asking us to watch fireworks their friend brought. It was great to get to meet the hosts family and friends, everyone was so nice. It was an experience we will not forget
