we got welcome scones on arrival. The kitchen had a free popcorn machine, a proper coffee machine, and hot chocolate with marshmallows - the kitchen area was great in general! Clean bathrooms with good hair dryers and the showers were all separate, allowing full privacy. Room was well equipped, with a small fridge and tea making facilities.

This was a very well-appointed accommodation, clearly not very old but still in very good condition. We had a spacious room, a comfortable bed, a good bathroom, and a well equipped kitchen - even a Nespresso machine. The property was about 5 minutes walk from the shops and restaurants in a quiet location.

Lovely little village in the mountains.

Lovely little village in the mountains. We took the glacier helicopter flight which was spectacular. Also there are lots of walks to choose from. Plenty of restaurants also in the village. Franz Josef is a worthwhile tourist destination for a short visit

The glacier is not reachable anymore.

The glacier is not reachable anymore. The area is roped off from a great distance away. A few years ago we walked right up to bottom of the glacier. The only way to see the glacier now is by helicopter at a great cost.

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.

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.

Rainforest retreat was fabulous! The beds were extremely comfortable, lovely bathroom, kitchen and lounge. We thoroughly enjoyed the luxury of the jacuzzi in the treetops. Everything was very special. We also enjoyed the Monsoon restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

A good backpackers accommodation in Franz Josef. The area is very touristy. The shared kitchen is adequate, but lacking some capacity (especially working hobs). The free soup every day is excellent. Excellent DVD collection.
