State Highway 6, 7856 Franz Josef, New Zealand – Great location - show map
Excellent accomodation! Kaz the owner was very helpful and breakfast was great. The 2 Labradoodles were adorable and on checkout one of them “Benson” would take your key in his mouth and return it to reception 😁 Certainly recommend staying there
New ZealandLovely rural lodge with high quality facilities and a very helpful host.
New ZealandWarm and cozy. Chalet style. Nice view. DVD you can borrow to watch in your room
JapanKaz was awesome. Location was very ideal. Great view of Franz Josef. Very quiet. Just a very comfortable Place
United States of AmericaLovely, quiet place with a great view of the glacier. Easy 15 minute walk into town through the woods so you could avoid the highway. Delicious hot breakfast included and a cozy area to share stories with fellow travelers. Our hostess was welcoming and very helpful!
United States of AmericaKaz is a wonderful host and the property is magnificent. Feels very 'homely' with her two friendly labradoodles Benson and Zac. Very large room with thoughtful little extras like fruit bowl, cutlery, throw. Kaz managed to score me a helicopter flight at short notice. We would definitely recommend Westwood Lodge.
New ZealandWonderful place to stay. We ended up staying 2 nights. The room was warm when we walked in. The bed was comfy. Just delightful.
AustraliaLocation was just right - 2 mins from town centre Kaz was fantastic and our breakfast for both mornings was great! The lodge is very well appointed and we would have liked to use all of the amenities but were tied up doing glacier walks, hiking, etc. allowing us to return to the room for a well earned rest! The manuka aroma outside our room was something we enjoyed as well as the surrounding spectacular landscape views.
New ZealandReally nice setting with an outdoor seating area of the room that faced up the mountain. Lovely roomy bedroom and good quality facilities. Great to have a separate work station set up. Very nice and most enjoyable stay thank you. Appreciated the efforts made to get us a helicopter ride over the two glaciers. We really enjoyed it.
New ZealandVery pleasant ambience and far better that th first impression from the road. All wooden construction v much in keeping with the west coast.
