Luxury accommodation in Franz Josef with easy access to the West Coast Wildlife Centre (kiwi) and Franz Josef glacier tours. The rooms are surrounded by the rain forest jungle on all sides.

We loved this cottage as it was so comfortable and had an amazing view of Franz Joseph Glacier. We loved that it was a little out of the main township and in a rural environment. Although it is on the main road which is super quiet at night it is cleverly landscaped to minimise car noise and enhance privacy. It was a great place to have as a base to explore the district.

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.

So much to see and do. I will ensure that we spend more time there on our next visit. Highlight was Scenic Helicopter trip to the Glacier flying with Ken from Heliservices. NZ. Make sure you finish off your day with a private soak at Waiho Hot Tubs.

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.

We dined at the Landing restaurant.

We dined at the Landing restaurant. Very good, busy and lively atmosphere, with friendly service, many tables were reserved. Big platefuls of great food, so bring your appetite. Easy parking in Franz, as would be expected. Especially after QT!! The walk to the glacier viewing platform from the car-park shouldn't be underestimated for anyone who is infirm or unfit. But it's worth it for the view when you get there. The west coast road is delightful to drive. But note that there was road clearing operations which literally closed the road north of Haast for a couple of hours! Take heed of any warning signs!

I highly recommend 10 Cottages. The view of Franz Josef from my mountain view room was absolutely stunning! Well appointed and spotlessly clean, it is all you need for a very comfortable short stay in Franz Josef. It was perfect for self catering and the cabins are really warm and cosy. Perfect location, 2 minutes walk to the main street and wildlife centre (where you can see kiwis up close, a great experience). Thank you Michelle and Allan, you were delightful hosts! I certainly stay again when I'm next in Franz Josef.

The rural location was superb with views to the Franz Josef Glacier. We were so glad we stayed out of town. Although it's an excellent town with supermarket, cafes and facilities we enjoyed the rural surrounds of Te Awa Cottages. They felt homey, warm and comfortable with everything we needed to explore the region including maps. We enjoyed sitting on the the wide veranda, watching the sun set over the mountains and the night sky. It was one of our favourite places we stayed and we'd love to come back one day.

Lovely cosy little "granny flat" at Franz Josef - superb location walk into town centre very easily. The hosts provided some discounts for dining out in the town and whilst the studio was tiny, there was everything we needed for a night's stay as we passed after the glaciers!

Good location, close to many amenities and a good starting point for the Franz Josef Glacier walk. Being one road behind the SH6, it was a quiet area. Very helpful staff, with good local recommendations.
