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.

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. Good restaurant, friendly staff. Can recommend the 5-course dinner that can be nicely coupled with excellent NZ wines.

We were only here for a night, but it was in a great central location. The rooms were great, and all the restaurants, Cafes, and Supermarkets were within easy walking distance. Whilst there is a fuel station next door we found it cheaper in Fox Glacier so worth the wait to top up there.

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!

Lovely backpackers with real attention paid to details (e.g. a small “gym”, barbecue area and hot tub), clean shared facilities and friendly staff. Definitely recommend for a stay in Franz Josef!

The location close to Franz Josef glacier was perfect. Also the included breakfast (which was self service, what is ok) was good. You could make waffles and pancakes.
