It wasn't the fault of our hosts that frustrating low cloud and drizzle prevented our helicopter ride over the glaciers around Mount Cook. They did their best in offering clean, comfortable and hospitable accommodation with Gary keeping us posted on latest weather reports and Jane making us feel at home with her 2 young daughters, her amusing dogs and her...

Jane and Gary couldn't have been better hosts. They spent the time to give us so much local information, great things to do, and excellent restaurant recommendations. the kids are a delight, and the dogs and cat so much fun to be around. And despite pets and kids the place was spotless, beautifully clean. The bedroom and en suite were... More

We totally agree with all the excellent reviews you have received and we'd especially like to thank you all for your wonderful hospitality and valuable advice. The walk around Lake Matheson is a must, and well worth getting up early for to catch the reflections before wind ripples the lake. Also the comfortable bed was sublime!

This was a really good choice of B&B. Easy to spot with its white fox logo and centrally placed for good walking distance evening eateries. Jane and Gary with daughters Meghan (silent h) and Isla (silent s) make a great family to be with. Jane works in tourism and has all the necessary local information you can possibly need. Gary...

In this welcoming bed and breakfast, visitors become part of the family. Before we even arrived, Jane emailed us a wonderful itinerary of places to see along our planned route and places to see around Fox Glacier during our stay. Our room shared the same hallway as the family's. It was beautifully decorated with a lovely ensuite bathroom. The two... More

We stayed for a couple of nights - this is more a 'home stay' than a B&B, which made it even nicer. The hosts, Jane & Gary are lovely and are able to help organise anything you need while visiting the area. Their knowledge of the local area is second to none, as Gary is a 4th generation Fox Glacier... More
