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.

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 US$91.69 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 174 reviewsThe rural location was superb with views to the Franz Josef Glacier. We were so glad we stayed out of town. Although it's an excellent town with supermarket, cafes and facilities we enjoyed the rural surrounds of Te Awa Cottages. They felt homey, warm and comfortable with everything we needed to explore the region including maps. We enjoyed sitting on the the wide veranda, watching the sun set over the mountains and the night sky. It was one of our favourite places we stayed and we'd love to come back one day.ClaireAustralia

We really appreciated the top-notch facilities and the beautiful setting, nestled in the forest and a very short walk into the township. We stayed in one of the Gecko Cottages and had dinner one night at the on-site restaurant, Monsoon, which is great value value for money and also beautifully decorated! Would stay again :-)EllaNew Zealand
- 8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,006 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 US$110.03 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 873 reviewsThis 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.

- From US$110.03 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 873 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
