The location is conveniently close to "town" but better than being in the town because of the beautiful, calm surroundings. The room was spacious and comfortable and pretty (seemed new). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent but could have had more variety.

Originally booked the 10 cottages but moved into the hotel/apartment for the extra cooking facilities of a hot plate. Both cabins and apartments have recently been refurbished and are very comfortable with new carpets and new bathrooms. All have heated towel rails and the hotel apartments have heated floors. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommend going to the glacier region in the winter and staying with the lovely people at The Terrace/10 cottages. Bonus is the walk to the Gallery Gorge is just up the road from the hotel.

Everything Amazing view of snow capped mountains. Beautifully done up house self contained with all the necessary stuff for daily needs. They were very courteous enough to allocate us the villa number 4 according to me the best villa with surreal view and huge lawn outside with spacious parking to settle your luggage nicely. Words would fall short to describe the Beauty of this 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.

    Luxury accommodation in Franz Josef with easy access to the West Coast Wildlife Centre (kiwi) and Franz Josef glacier tours. The rooms are surrounded by the rain forest jungle on all sides. Good restaurant, friendly staff. Can recommend the 5-course dinner that can be nicely coupled with excellent NZ wines.

    The location is excellent, with easy access to Franz Josef township and only 30 minutes from Fox, but slightly out of town to be away from the noise. The two bed apartment we had was spacious and had two separate bathrooms, which is a plus compared to similar accommodation in New Zealand.
