"Beyond amazing! A marvelous trip in our last day in New Zealand. The weather in the Milford Sound was exceptional starting with rain during our drive which got all the waterfalls hyperactive; once we got on the Fiordland Jewel, the sky cleared and the sun shined for the duration of the trip with calms winds. The staff on the cruise boat from captain Francis to the crew Abby, Sarah, the cook Chris and Sunil were exceptional. One of the best cruises ever. We spent the night in the Captains suite with the boat anchored in a basin surrounded by 100 meter mountains on all sides. The sky was so clear which allowed for amazing pictures of the southern sky and all the stars unblocked by any light pollution or any cloud. It was truly incredible. "
"The property is brand new and well maintained, with a little of smell of fresh house. The view is truly impressive— we were even able to see a rainbow from the window, which was a lovely surprise.
However, the Wi-Fi connection was quite slow during our stay, which may be inconvenient for guests who need stable internet access. In addition, I would strongly recommend booking dinner in advance or bringing sufficient food supplies. When we arrived at 1:30, the restaurant was already fully booked, and we were only able to have some snacks instead of a proper meal. Unfortunately, the children had to wait until the next morning to have a full breakfast.
Overall, it is a beautiful place with great scenery, but guests should plan ahead regarding meals and internet needs.
