Great location. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed. Exceptionally helpful staff. I highly recommend. It comes with milk in the fridge and they will give you more if you need it. Great heat.

Had my best sleep during the trip because this property is hidden in a very quiet area of the town and everything inside is very homey. The owner is very helpful and always responsive to my questions / requests. The property is stunning and is fully equipped.

We loved this cottage as it was so comfortable and had an amazing view of Franz Joseph Glacier. We loved that it was a little out of the main township and in a rural environment. Although it is on the main road which is super quiet at night it is cleverly landscaped to minimise car noise and enhance privacy. It was a great place to have as a base to explore the district.

    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.

    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).

    The rooms (more like chalet units) were very cosy and well furnished. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and gave excellent advice about when it would be feasible to visit the Franz Josef glacier. Very good value for money! Would have loved staying one night more if we had more things to do in the area.

    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.

    Lovely cosy little "granny flat" at Franz Josef - superb location walk into town centre very easily. The hosts provided some discounts for dining out in the town and whilst the studio was tiny, there was everything we needed for a night's stay as we passed after the glaciers!
