Beautiful surroundings and garden, our room was facing the garden and it was elegant and stylish, with a very comfortable bed. We liked the atmosphere and the person at the reception was friendly and welcoming. It’s only a few minutes from the township but removed from any noise and extremely peaceful and serene.

We were due to spend 2 nights here but a major accident shut the only road on the West Coast so we had to find accommodation for the first night elsewhere. The Scenic could not have been more fantastic. They said they would not charge us for the first night and took all of the stress out of a difficult situation. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room/suite once we arrived was well equipped and very spacious. Great central location. Did not eat here so cannot comment on food.

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.

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.

Lovely spacious rooms with on suite bathroom. The rooms are exceptionally clean and kept that way throughout our four day stay. We had ample coffee and tea making facilities and even enjoyed a complimentary chocolate treat. The hotel meals had a wide selection which meant my gluten intolerant partner had a good choice of options. The location is a short walk to the high street and walks out from Franz Josef so ideal. All staff were very nice and certainly went out of their way to ensure we’re were happy.

The house was great for our stay in Franz Josef to do the glacier heli-hike. The kitchen was outstanding for cooking our own meals and the fireplace came in handy the night after hiking the glacier and glow worm cave. The whole experience of the house was relaxing and a nice break from the hotels we had been staying in.

The Deluxe Two Bedroom Spa Treehouse was nicely decked out, with two large bedrooms and bathrooms. The outdoor spa was a lovely addition. The location is in the heart of Franz Josef, walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, tour offices, etc.
