Lovely little village in the mountains.

Lovely little village in the mountains. We took the glacier helicopter flight which was spectacular. Also there are lots of walks to choose from. Plenty of restaurants also in the village. Franz Josef is a worthwhile tourist destination for a short visit

The glacier is not reachable anymore.

The glacier is not reachable anymore. The area is roped off from a great distance away. A few years ago we walked right up to bottom of the glacier. The only way to see the glacier now is by helicopter at a great cost.

The glacier area is a wonderful place to visit. The weather can be unpredictable so we recommend booking your activities for first thing in the morning, the weather tends to get worse throughout the day.

Unfortunately it was raining at times and overcast so our helicopter flight to the glaciers was cancelled. We were given a full refund as the weather was out of our control. We could still do walks and the wildlife centre and movie of the western coast of NZ at the cinema were a highlight.

Great location: walking distance from bus stop, restaurants, supermarket, kiwi center, helicopter rides, glacier and glowworm hikes. The host was quite helpful in providing hike suggestions and restaurant opening times as we arrived on Christmas day. Spacious living room for family activities. The coffee (Robert Harris) provided was particularly nice, much better than those in 4-star hotels later on our trip. Milk was provided from a glass bottle at the reception.

The rooms (more like chalet units) were very cosy and well furnished. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and gave excellent advice about when it would be feasible to visit the Franz Josef glacier. Very good value for money! Would have loved staying one night more if we had more things to do in the area.
