    So much to see and do.

    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!

    Lots of walking trails towards the glacier but sadly we were not able to do any walking as it was raining hard and steady during our stay. Enjoyed a delicious meal at “Alice May” restaurant only 5-10 minute walk from hotel.

    Great area for outdoor activities with plenty to do and experience. We did several local DOC walks (i.e., Tatare Falls and Callery Gorge) and undertook an amazing helicopter flight with Glacier Country Helicopters - Pilot’s Choice (35 minutes duration). The Landing was a great place to dine.

  • Legacy Te Waonui Hotel Franz Josef

    Franz Josef
    From US$232.56 per night
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.6
    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 364 reviews
    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).

    Excellent standard, this place is like a hotel not a lodge (at least our room was). Great value for not much money - actually it was our best and cheapest stay during two weeks in New Zealand. Very nice kitchen with a free coffee from a coffee machine, free popcorn, free welcome scone:-) Nice personnel. Clean bathroom with cosmetics provided. Even a hot tub included:-) Generally wonderful.

  • Aspen Court Franz Josef

    Franz Josef
    From US$204 per night
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4
    Superb - What previous guests thought, 858 reviews
    This place is all about the glacier and associated trips; Alice May is the well-known restaurant. Our chalet at Aspen Court, convenient for local amenities and a 10 minute walk to the glacier view point, was spacious, spotlessly clean, impeccably-fitted and equipped, light and airy, with easy parking; no aircon the only negative. VFM at $297pn OK. Rating 9.5/10.

    It is conveniently located a few km north of Franz Josef. The facilities are old motel-style and a little tired. The apartments are very large, with separate bedrooms, well-appointed kitchens, and renovated bathrooms. WiFi and parking are free. The Glacier View Motel is good for money and worth a stay.
