After a long trip we arrived at 7pm tired and hungry. We found a fully licenced bar and restaurant on the premises. That made our day. Woke up to a great views and the room was catered for a perfect breakfast. One of the best places we have stayed at in NZ.

We loved this cottage as it was so comfortable and had an amazing view of Franz Joseph Glacier. We loved that it was a little out of the main township and in a rural environment. Although it is on the main road which is super quiet at night it is cleverly landscaped to minimise car noise and enhance privacy. It was a great place to have as a base to explore the district.

This is an amazing property. One of the highlights of our trip as far as accommodation is concerned. We were to stay here for Christmas Eve and the hosts (Pam and Peter) made sure to advise us well in time to prepare for our stay in Franz Josef as being holiday most shops around would be closed. It's a fantastic, well maintained and extremely clean property

    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.

    This place is all about the glacier and associated trips; Alice May is the well-known restaurant. Our chalet at Aspen Court, convenient for local amenities and a 10 minute walk to the glacier view point, was spacious, spotlessly clean, impeccably-fitted and equipped, light and airy, with easy parking; no aircon the only negative. VFM at $297pn OK. Rating 9.5/10.

    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.
