We stayed in one of their tree houses and it was well appointed, clean and modern. Location is very good to access trails, and glacier touring operators. There is an onsite restaurant that has excellent food and drinks.

Located a short 5-minute drive from the Franz Josef town center, this place is away from the hustle and bustle of business. The rooms are generous in size, cozy, and impeccably clean, and the continental breakfast is an added perk. The view from the room and property is breathtaking. Angela was an amazing host, exceeding expectations and always going the extra mile. She stayed late to make sure our check-in process was seamless and assisted with reservations for the Heli Ride and Quad Biking, as well as providing helpful dining recommendations.

Great location right downtown in Franz Josef, it was very easy to get to food, trails, and the wildlife center. Access was simple and the house was very comfortable with a full kitchen and two bedrooms. Perfect for a one night stay on our road trip.

The glacier area is a wonderful place to visit.

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.

Franz Josef is a beautiful location with an excellent view of the surrounding mountains and we had excellent weather to boot. Check-in was very easy and we were given a detailed map of the village and excellent advice on where to eat as well as the best time to hike to see the glacier (early-ish). That advice was prescient as the mountain and glacier tended to disappear behind the clouds forming. Thank you!

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.

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.
