One of the best hotel I have staying in NZ trip. Helpful staffs and can meet sheep at own farm. It has stunning view but a bit cold, so don't forget to turn on heater during night time.

The receptionist was super friendly and helpful, and we loved that the place is a bit outside of the town, so it’s super quiet during night time. The villa was clean and big, v suitable for a family.

在fox glacier附近總體來説已經是特別好的選擇了,當天所有的房間都訂滿了。小屋配了所需要的廚房用具,但是沒有洗碗機,唯一美中不足的就是衹有一個洗手間,使用要排隊,但總體來説已經是最好的選擇了。

Absolutely gorgeous setting with a view of the glacier. Villa was comfortable (except for the lack of bedside lamps) with a nice kitchen and good beds. Loved that they had free DVDs available (which we took advantage of thanks to a very rainy afternoon and evening) and laundry facilities. The town of Franz Joseph Glacier was cute but food options weren't great - I'd suggest cooking in. Glad we had 2 nights here!

Some areas a bit tired and needing upgrade/maintenance to justify the expensive price tag (but that seems to be franz josef all over) but on the whole it was a comfortable nice place to stay. Friendly helpful staff
