The location in the middle of the temperate rainforest and its access to the Franz-Joseph glacier is great. Ample parking. The hotel is beautifully decorated, and you feel connected to nature. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and well organized. We loved the bird sounds playing in the room and the bathroom. Awesome turndown service at night with glass water bottles & delish chocolates. Great laundry facilities on site. They truly matched the sounds of the real birds outdoors. The staff was absolutely 100% professional, helpful and accommodating. First class! The five course dinners were delicious and we really enjoyed the view tables They reserved for us each evening. We really like the all inclusive aspect of this retreat as you are pretty isolated once you arrive in France Joseph. This is a cozy spot to end up in at the end of the day!

We were booked here but upgraded to the Te Waonui hotel so please recognize that this review is actually of that facility. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. We enjoyed the Chef’s 5 course Degustation at the Canopy Restaurant at the hotel. Breakfasts provided plenty of variety. This was a great base to visit both Fox and Franz Josef glaciers.

We stayed one night in this compact, comfortable and private accommodation. The location was perfect, being only a five minute drive from the busy, touristy town of Franz Josef. We had open space around us and an amazing view of snowcapped mountains. The night was clear and we were rewarded with a beautiful star filled sky. Communication and self check-in was clear and easy. The bed was comfortable and the bedding and towels were good quality. I thought we would go to a restaurant for dinner, but the accommodation was perfect for us to cook dinner and enjoy the peace and quiet.

They gave us a huge 2 bedroom suite for only 2 of us! It’s very clean and modern. And directly across the street from the DOC visitor center. I wish we could have stayed longer.

We got lucky with the weather and managed a helicopter flight over the glaciers which was expensive but well worth the expense and walk around Lake Mathesson which had awesome views. We has two nights here and could have done with one more day to explore a bit more.

Small town, which is the base for all helicopter rides on to the the glaciers, food is expensive as limited places, there is a supermarket which has multiple options but closes early, alchol is cheaper in this market.

Walking tracks fabulous & well maintained.

Walking tracks fabulous & well maintained. It is about an hour walk from town to the glacier area walks, but there is also a shuttle if required. Plenty of restaurant options. Only thing is that it is a long way along West Coast so need time / desire to do this.

Franz Josef is a great place to experience the glaciers up close. It’s an incredible destination with stunning natural scenery, and there are well-maintained walks to viewing points where you can take in the glaciers. For an even more memorable experience, you can take a helicopter ride and see Mount Cook from above, which is absolutely breathtaking. A must-visit spot when exploring the West Coast.

There are quite a few hikes that you can walk, with a range of difficulty for all tourists. I did a couple small ones that offer a view of the Franz Josef Glacier. If I had more time, I could have gone on a longer track to take me closer to the Glacier; I would also have done a heli hike.

I highly recommend taking a helicopter to the top of the glaciers. There are several hikes to choose from, but the glacier hike right outside of town is probably the best. If you are interested in seeing glow worms, walk the very short trail next to the Catholic church at night. Look for the blue lights glowing near the ground. Ice Bar was a delicious restaurant!

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.

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!
