The rooms were very cosy and the amenities provided were nice. The fireplace in the room was a great comfort as the weather was very chilly during our stay. We also enjoyed meeting Kona (Angela's dog) and his bunny friend who were very warm and friendly.

The location in the middle of the temperate rainforest and its access to the Franz-Joseph glacier is great. Ample parking. The hotel is beautifully decorated, and you feel connected to nature. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and well organized. We loved the bird sounds playing in the room and the bathroom. Awesome turndown service at night with glass water bottles & delish chocolates. Great laundry facilities on site. They truly matched the sounds of the real birds outdoors. The staff was absolutely 100% professional, helpful and accommodating. First class! The five course dinners were delicious and we really enjoyed the view tables They reserved for us each evening. We really like the all inclusive aspect of this retreat as you are pretty isolated once you arrive in France Joseph. This is a cozy spot to end up in at the end of the day!

Cosy, warm house that was well equipped and clean. Quiet neighborhood with lovely views. The host was friendly and responsive too. (Just note the house is slightly elevated so you need to negotiate up a few steps with your bags from the car porch).

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.

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.
