I really liked Alice from the reception. She helped us book our activities and suggested ways on how I can get discounts from our Helihike and Whale watching activities at Kaikoura. Sadly, it was raining at Franz Josef the whole time we were there so we basically couldn't do any of the activities we planned. But Alice patiently helped to reschedule our bookings multiple times to try and help us get a slot when the rain stops. The place is very clean. The location is good, just 5min drive away from town centre. Top10 membership gets you 10% discount on accommodation if booked directly with them, more free wifi, free 30min access to their spa pool which is really nice on a cold rainy day and discounts on many activities such as the helihike, helicopter ride and many other popular attractions across New Zealand. Good deal.

Spacious kitchen and sitting area with a variety of TV channels. Kitchen was great and had the best non stick pans for cooking - you don’t normally find that. Shower pressure was great as many times in hotels the pressure is just too low, this shower was perfect. Clean room and the receptionist lady was lovely. She gave us fresh milk and tips on the locals walks/sites. Highly recommend.

We had such a lovely stay at the Bella Vista. Peaceful and quiet in a beautiful tranquil setting. Shower was epic, super comfy bed, the customer service was exceptional. Everything was very very clean and tidy. We can't fault the place. Since Franz Josef we have booked another stay in a Bella Vista further south. Thank you so much!

Great hotel, right across from the hot pools and close enough to the ‘main’ city area restaurants. There is a small kitchenette inside the room. The bus even stops right in front of the hotel (which was very convenient for my back and forth bus trip to Queenstown). Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

The service was amazing, friendly and very welcoming. The room was lovely with the trees outside and nature sounds making it extremely peaceful. Would definitely stay there again.

It was value for money, although there was a black out at night, it was resolved quickly. All the staffs were very Friendly and nice!
