Find Adventure Hotels in Franz Josef Glacier

"It was great- the owners are lovely and incredibly accommodating and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The location was excellent for access to Franz Josef activities and restaurants. It’s a five minute walk to the town center, if that. Highly recommend a stay here. "

"Excellent choice. 7 minutes drive from Main Street, but great location. Quiet. Modern and fresh. Multiple choices of unit size, so look for the one that is right for you. I recommend this accommodation. Parking right at your individual unit, which I prefer."

"Very good place to stay"

"Absolutely beautiful rooms! Wonderful staff! Our unit though was a little close to the road and wish we were facing mountains instead."

"Good value and great location "

"We enjoyed our stay. The hostess was very friendly. She offered great suggestions for restaurants, which were very walkable from our room. "

"Beautiful property. Our room felt like we were near the canopy of the rain forest. Private and just natural - felt like glamping. The room was very comfortable and with modern amenities yet tucked in a rainforest. Would definitely recommend ( note: they have different levels of accommodations so please check). "

"A beautiful location, gorgeous rainforest views from every room. Extremely relaxing."

"👍 Like my review! We had a 2 night stay at Bella Vista Motel in Franz Josef, New Zealand as part of our journey across the country. We chose this place as it was central to the town, nearby Franz Josef Glacier Tour, had free parking, and was an excellent value. The room was also far from the main street allowing some peace and quiet after a long day. The checkin process was smooth with our assigned room but guests should contact them if their office closes. The room was clean and cozy, TV had limited channels but access to streaming services and connection to a DVD player (with free DVDs for checkout in reception), bed and pillows were comfortable, walkin shower had shampoo and body wash but no conditioner, bathroom ventilation fan and towel warmer were nice, internet was slow at times during peak hours, outlets were provided throughout the room and near the end of the bed for charging or medical devices, and several amenities (e.g. instant coffee, French press coffee grounds, tea, provided fresh milk from reception, kettle, toaster, cutlery, utensils, microwave, fridge, iron and ironing board) were helpful. Please note that there was no provided body lotion and not enough coffee grounds for the French press. They also provided an on-site laundromat and continental breakfast for a fee. The highlight is that the people working in the reception were extremely helpful and welcoming. Overall, we would consider staying here again and would recommend it to our friends and family."
