This is one of the best places to stay, I cannot say enough good things about it. We chose a luxury suite, got the best nights of sleep with firm but soft beds, the sheets so comfy, the kitchenette with everything we needed, spacious & heated bathroom floor with great water pressure, our own lounge with throw blankets, and verandah, all set in a rainforest. There was plenty of natural light but privacy at the same time, we could even hear kiwi calling at night. Loved it!!!

Nice spot to stop if you have visited the glaciers. Breakfast, special bathtub and an electric fireplace gives you a nice ambiance after a long day of driving.

    So much to see and do.

    So much to see and do. I will ensure that we spend more time there on our next visit. Highlight was Scenic Helicopter trip to the Glacier flying with Ken from Heliservices. NZ. Make sure you finish off your day with a private soak at Waiho Hot Tubs.

    Unfortunately it was raining at times and overcast so our helicopter flight to the glaciers was cancelled. We were given a full refund as the weather was out of our control. We could still do walks and the wildlife centre and movie of the western coast of NZ at the cinema were a highlight.

    We dined at the Landing restaurant.

    We dined at the Landing restaurant. Very good, busy and lively atmosphere, with friendly service, many tables were reserved. Big platefuls of great food, so bring your appetite. Easy parking in Franz, as would be expected. Especially after QT!! The walk to the glacier viewing platform from the car-park shouldn't be underestimated for anyone who is infirm or unfit. But it's worth it for the view when you get there. The west coast road is delightful to drive. But note that there was road clearing operations which literally closed the road north of Haast for a couple of hours! Take heed of any warning signs!

    Lots of walking trails towards the glacier but sadly we were not able to do any walking as it was raining hard and steady during our stay. Enjoyed a delicious meal at “Alice May” restaurant only 5-10 minute walk from hotel.

    Great area for outdoor activities with plenty to do and experience. We did several local DOC walks (i.e., Tatare Falls and Callery Gorge) and undertook an amazing helicopter flight with Glacier Country Helicopters - Pilot’s Choice (35 minutes duration). The Landing was a great place to dine.

    The location was awesome as it was walkable to Franz Josef Glacier and a 20 minute car ride from Fox Glacier. The bed, linens, and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was carb heavy (cereal, waffles, pancakes, toast + spread, and coffee/tea) which was perfect fuel for hiking. Big kitchen facilities with all the appliances and cooking equipment to make basic meals. Bathroom, bedrooms, and common areas were quite clean for a hostel. Nice to have individual outlets (including USB) and light for each bunk bed.

    I wish I could give 6 or 7 stars if possible! We had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, with a large living and dining area. The kitchen is super well-equipped. In addition to air conditioning, the wood fireplace and electric blankets on each bed kept us very warm during the cold days. The location is quiet yet conveniently close to Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier. We would definitely love to come back!

    location was great with the Franz Josef glacier walk about 5km away & the Fox glacier walk about 24km away. restaurants & bars were also a short walk away. helicopter flights to the glaciers were in abundance on the Main Street which was a short walk away. we did the helicopter trip to the top of Fox glacier where we were able to get out of the helicopter & on to the glacier which was amazing.

    I loved rainforest retreat! I stayed in one of the gecko cottages and it felt very secluded, peaceful and quiet. The spa was nice to relax in. The room was comfortable and I liked the kitchenette facilities.
