What Guests Said About Franz Josef:
-
Only passing through, overnight stop.
Only passing through, overnight stop. Bad weather was obviously hindering the views of the mountains, so town was quiet I believe. Walked to where you could view the glacier. Lots of walking tracks, things to see & do other than glacier activity. Only had breakfast at Snakebite Brewery, which was fine, then left for next destination.

One of the most stunning places in the world, surrounded by glaciers, mountains, beautiful lakes, braided rivers, fabulous wildlife, only a short hop to Okarito lagoon or Fox glacier, and if you like, a scenic helicopter trip is an absolute wow experience. A true bucket list destination.

The hot pools were great and there were a number of restaurants to try. We enjoyed walking to Lake Wombat. Franz Josef is a great base for those wanting to explore walks, local lakes and places such as Okarito.

We went to Franz Josef to see the glacier, which has receded significantly over the years. It was underwhelming. We didn't do the helicopter/hike, which probably is the best way to experience it. If we had, it may have made a big difference. The Kiwi center was interesting, but I felt overpriced for what it is. I wouldn't recommend this as a stop unless you plan on taking the helicopter to the glacier, and can't say if that is worth it. I would also say that the food we had at the recommended restaurant was disappointing.

Franz Josef was incredibly beautiful.
Franz Josef was incredibly beautiful. It’s a quaint alpine village with an appealing ambiance. The township is clean, well cared for, friendly and a pleasure to visit and stay in. The Landing Restaurant and staff were outstanding, with the food and their service exceptional 💫 The walk to the glacier was stunning with the track lovingly maintained. Be sure to make a donation in the box along the way as we did. Franz Josef is a community that cares and we loved our time there immensely. Everything is in walking distance, multiple places to eat, an excellent super market, and plenty of accommodation to suit every type of traveller 👏🙌

Te Awa Cottages
Franz Josef
From $187 per nightMy husband and I stayed here just for one night before our Franz Josef Glacier heli-hike tour. Easy 2 min drive to the township for dinner. Seamless afterhours check in with key in lockbox. Great communication by staff via messages for all relevant information. Heater was great which dried out all of our wet jackets and the cottage was so spacious! I would recommend others to stay here. Private, parking right at the door and such an amazing view too!!

10 Cottages
Franz Josef
From $103 per nightFranz Josef is such a quaint little village on the West Coast of NZ, accommodation was very close to the center of town. No need for a car to get around. The holiday house gave us a bit more room for everyone and the renovated bathroom was nice to use. 10 Cottages runs a complimentary glow worm walking tour from reception a few times a week (15mins duration approximately).
