Beautiful carefully crafted cottage with all the essentials for a great holiday including well equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom with hairdryer and comfortable beds. The view from the cottage porch was lovely - Karere is in a very peaceful location. Thanks for the stay!
New ZealandKahere Retreat was truly a retreat, befitting its name. The unit was cozy with comfortable beds and lots of timber fittings. The view of snowy mountains afar gave me a true alpine experience.
New ZealandBeautiful setting. Nice architectural details to the hand hewed cottage. Loved the use of stained glass in the windows, local stone in the bathroom and kitchen and natural wood features creating a very comfortable environment.

United States of AmericaPerfect little retreat a short distance from the Franz Josef glacier. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and a few lakes.
United States of AmericaAfter a long day’s drive it was great to find this home away from home. Situated just north of Franz Josef Village proper it was an easy drive back into town for dinner. The morning views of the mountains from the sitting room were a treat.

United States of AmericaCharming, comfortable, and clean. Peaceful and relaxing. Perfect.
United States of AmericaThe location was great. A few minutes from FJ, but a quiet place to sit on the porch and watch as the sun set over the mountains. My wife particularly loved the beautiful woodwork and little touches throughout the cabin. Beautiful table outside in a covered porch. Lovely bathroom with excellent shower. Good couches as well. And nice little kitchen area.
