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!

Having driven for 5 hours from Queenstown, arriving at the Aspen Court was a very welcome relief from such a journey. We had a great welcome on checking in and got a quick round down on things to do and places to eat. Our room was spotless, offering a super king sized bed, which was extremely comfortable, along with a very well kitted out kitchen area and large shower room. Aspen Court has to be the place to stay in Franz Josef. We loved it.

Loved the room and location! We were lucky and got a free upgrade so the accomodation exceeded our expectations! Had a little view of one of the mountains. The room was very spacious and super clean. Quite a large bathroom with fantastic pressure in the shower. The town is only small so it was central and a great location. Very cool bar/restaurant attached to the Rainforest Retreat that has great food and drinks and a great vibe!

The Alpine Glacier Hotel was clean and comfortable for our family of four. The receptionist was very lovely and helpful with any of our requests. The motel was a good distance from local stores and restaurants such as Snake Bite Brewery and The Landing and the tourist attractions such as Franz Josef Glaciers and the Fox Glaciers, not too far if you have a car.
