Lock in a great price for Westwood Lodge – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything was great! The room was delightful with views of the mountain, comfy bed and excellent bathroom. Breakfast was also good and the staff were lovely and helpful (and we loved the pups!).

Kelly, New Zealand

Huge room with sitting area. Very large bathroom with 2 sinks. Bed was very comfortable. The view. From the rooms was fabulous. We were lucky to book the low winter rate.

Tired, United States of America

Best check-in of our holiday - warm and welcoming. Very comfortable room and lovely breakfast. Watching the sun go down over the glacier from the lounge while enjoying a glass of wine and some Kiwi cheeses - bliss :)

Maddogstwo, United Kingdom

Some of the Windows do have screens. Really important to get some fresh air and keep those pesky bugs out. Windows in main room should have screens.

Bruce, United States of America

Staff were very friendly & helpful, our room was great and the cooked breakfast was terrific. There is a great view of the mountains with a partial view of the glacier.

John, Australia

Staff was very friendly. Breakfast good, location good

William, United States of America

Beautiful, cozy, spacious room, perfect for new years eve. Located a short walk from the Franz Josef Glacier town by way of a direct and safe path away from the road. Staff were friendly and provided a map and activity suggestions for our stay. Fresh fruit and deliciously prepared eggs for breakfast in the morning.

Shannon, Canada

Excellent breakfast, great service, and perfect location not too close to the town for peace and quiet. Great views of the mountains from our terrace.

Yvette, Denmark

Lovely peaceful location with great views slightly outside the main town so need to drive into town for restaurants. Wonderful wooden main lodge with massive open lounge area. Cabins/ rooms are a very good size with the bathroom being larger than many hotel rooms.

Nigel, United Kingdom

Nice and quiet clean and hospitable reception on arrival
