This was a very well-appointed accommodation, clearly not very old but still in very good condition. We had a spacious room, a comfortable bed, a good bathroom, and a well equipped kitchen - even a Nespresso machine.

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.

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.

This was a beautiful place to stop and enjoy Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. We arrived in the dark and were greeted with a happy smiling face and a refreshing drink of Kiwi juice and a hot washer. Our room was incredible - so spacious and comfortable. The body products were simply fantastic. The smell was incredible. We ate in the restaurant for our dinners and breakfasts (2 of each) and the food was delicious and the service was incredible. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I would certainly return (we didn't want to leave).

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.

If only we could have stayed longer. Literally this is an oasis of tranquility after visiting the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers. A beautiful, garden setting on the north side of Franz Josef. We sat out on the decking overlooking the pond late afternoon listening to birdsong. The rooms were amazing, spacious, well planned with a huge bed and large bathroom. We paid for continental breakfast and were very happy the selection.

location was great with the Franz Josef glacier walk about 5km away & the Fox glacier walk about 24km away. restaurants & bars were also a short walk away. helicopter flights to the glaciers were in abundance on the Main Street which was a short walk away. we did the helicopter trip to the top of Fox glacier where we were able to get out of the helicopter & on to the glacier which was amazing.
