I wish I could give 6 or 7 stars if possible! We had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, with a large living and dining area. The kitchen is super well-equipped. In addition to air conditioning, the wood fireplace and electric blankets on each bed kept us very warm during the cold days. The location is quiet yet conveniently close to Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier. We would definitely love to come back!

Clean and comfortable cottage, equipped with everything you need for an overnight stay. Location is perfect near the town but with plenty of open view. Although it was raining heavily overnight but this is the famous West Coast thing :)

    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.

    Hotel is in an amazing location, which was why we chose it. We only stayed two nights but managed to do everything we wanted to in the area. The main one being the Franz Josef heli hike. Hotel restaurant was very good and the all inclusive dinner & breakfast (which I hadn't realised at the time of booking) was a bonus.

    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.

    Compact comfortable cabin with amazing views out towards Franz Josef Glacier. Well designed so had all the facilities we needed to self cater for 2 nights. In a field surrounded by a few houses and horses with panoramic views across to the mountains.
