Lynn
United Kingdom
Lovely room with view out over gardens and pond, and what was probably beautiful scenery which due to the weather we could not see. The included continental style breakfast was very nice. The young German lady Fransisca who appeared to do everything at the hotel was really lovely, helpful and friendly, a great front of house asset.

Franz Josef is a must do destination when travelling in the South Island, especially if you like the outdoors. Got up early and travelled to Lake Matheson to watch the sunrise - possibly the best experience in all our years of travelling. The cafe at Lake Matheson was brilliant as well and Alice May restaurant in Franz Josef was brilliant for dinner.LissaNew Zealand - 6.0Scored 6.0

A must see on any New Zealand itinerary, but one day is sufficient. Perfect for adventurous young people who like walking, not so much for older persons. The helicopter ride was bit of a rip-off as the weather closed in and we could not land on the glacier. Although they did give us a little refund, it was not up to our expectations and very expensive 20 minute ride.JohnAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
Beautiful World Heritage site with exquisite natural flora...
Beautiful World Heritage site with exquisite natural flora and fauna. The walks were amongst the most scenic and beautiful we’ve ever experienced. Only downside, which I feel needs to be more clearly explained to visitors, is that the glaciers themselves can only be seen and viewed from the lookout points if it is a clear day without low hanging cloud. We were disappointed to not actually see the Franz Josef Glacier nor the Fox Glacier from the fartherest reach of the walks. Environmentally, we were not prepared to fly/chopper to see the glaciers from the air. Nevertheless, the walks themselves are a must do, driving through the region is gob-smackingly beautiful and the walk around Lake Matheson a must see.VanessaAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0

Our helihike was cancelled due to weather, so we did a quad bike in the rain. IT WAS AWESOME! We smiled for the entire two hours. There is a sweet chapel for quiet and reflection. We never saw the glaciers as it rained for three days straight which was so sad. The grocery and a few restaurants were enough to find something to eat.AmyUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0

We were unlucky with the weather, as there was low cloud and some rain. We took a couple of walks to see the glacier from viewing points which were really good. Paths were very good, not muddy, and there were signs to explain the ecology and history.JackieUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A small town with a couple of shops and plenty pubs/restaurants. The glacier is 7kms from the town - drive to the car park and then there’s a short walk to the viewing area - you’ll need binoculars or a long lens to truly appreciate the beauty of the glacier. Fox Glacier is 30 mins away and again there’s a pretty uphill walk to a viewing area. You can get a helicopter onto the glacier but they are $$$. Lake Mathewson is worth visiting while in Fox, park at the car park and walk 30/40 mins to the jetty. Beautiful especially at sunset but use bug spray as there are lots of midgies!GillianUnited Kingdom

- From SEK 2,344.81 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 195 reviewsThis was a beautiful place to stop and enjoy Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. We arrived in the dark and were greeted with a happy smiling face and a refreshing drink of Kiwi juice and a hot washer. Our room was incredible - so spacious and comfortable. The body products were simply fantastic. The smell was incredible. We ate in the restaurant for our dinners and breakfasts (2 of each) and the food was delicious and the service was incredible. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I would certainly return (we didn't want to leave).
MelanieAustralia - 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 217 reviewsIf only we could have stayed longer. Literally this is an oasis of tranquility after visiting the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers. A beautiful, garden setting on the north side of Franz Josef. We sat out on the decking overlooking the pond late afternoon listening to birdsong. The rooms were amazing, spacious, well planned with a huge bed and large bathroom. We paid for continental breakfast and were very happy the selection.
JulieIsle of Man - 8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,005 reviewsWe enjoyed our one night stay. Warm welcome. Room was perfectly fine. We remember and appreciate our experience relaxing on our balcony and seeing the mountains (if you are, as we were, lucky with your room orientation). Although we arrived late and left early, we enjoyed strolling from the hotel, through town, out to the river and over the bridge, and back, beautiful sights.JanUnited States
- From SEK 1,159.52 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 875 reviewsMost important is the motel has a generator so we had power when a major storm closed highway in/out of Franz Joseph Glacier and knocked down power lines for more than 24 hours. Room looks new or newly renovated. Table and kitchen counters are quartz, nicer than I would expect of a motel. Kitchen has everything thing necessary to prepare meals if so desired.KKarlUnited States
