    So much to see and do.

    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.

  • 10 Cottages

    Franz Josef
    From US$136.45 per night
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5
    Very good - What previous guests thought, 720 reviews
    I highly recommend 10 Cottages. The view of Franz Josef from my mountain view room was absolutely stunning! Well appointed and spotlessly clean, it is all you need for a very comfortable short stay in Franz Josef. It was perfect for self catering and the cabins are really warm and cosy. Perfect location, 2 minutes walk to the main street and wildlife centre (where you can see kiwis up close, a great experience). Thank you Michelle and Allan, you were delightful hosts! I certainly stay again when I'm next in Franz Josef.

    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.

    I choose Rainforest retreat again as I had a very good stayed years ago and this time wasn’t different. The room was impecable,’it has everything you need, very comfortable and warm. The spa pool is a little bit old but it’s all you need to relax after a day of hiking. Very nice restaurant and location. good price! 100% recommended
