Clean and comfortable cottage, equipped with everything you need for an overnight stay. Location is perfect near the town but with plenty of open view. Although it was raining heavily overnight but this is the famous West Coast thing :)

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 clean and comfortable accommodation near Franz Josef Glacier. Quiet, friendly and very relaxing. Beautiful setting with large grassy area to enjoy in good weather - good birdwatching when we were there! Very attentive and helpful manager. Laundry facilities were appreciated! Arrangements with local bars and restaurants to collect guests and return them to enjoy a few drinks!

The location is excellent, with easy access to Franz Josef township and only 30 minutes from Fox, but slightly out of town to be away from the noise. The two bed apartment we had was spacious and had two separate bathrooms, which is a plus compared to similar accommodation in New Zealand.

Convenient and it’s so easy for those who drive. Parking is right at the door step. Hotel staff were friendly and so ready to help. Due to our heli hike cancellation, they quickly suggested that we try the heli hike at Fox Glacier and we did it!
