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.

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.

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.

Chateau Backpackers had a lovely atmosphere, it helped that you could see the Glacier from there, when not misty, but that they have free veg soup at 6 pm and that encouraged people to mix and chat, also free breakfast, which included pancake or waffle mix to cook, cereals and toast. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

The studio had everything you needed and was very decently sized. Great bed and the bubble bath was a very nice added bonus! Located right in Franz Josef village. We did a glacier hike and just had to cross the street to the Franz Josef Glacier Guides building which was very convenient.

The Deluxe Two Bedroom Spa Treehouse was nicely decked out, with two large bedrooms and bathrooms. The outdoor spa was a lovely addition. The location is in the heart of Franz Josef, walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, tour offices, etc.
