Good option for Franz Josef Glacier. Large complex, we stayed in one of the "treehouse" units. Nice but small. Older folks with large suitcases avoid these, the steps are wet in the rain and steep. Bathroom had heated floors, always a treat. Restaurant was nothing fancy but ok.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom delux treehouse that included our own hot tub. The full kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The property even included a laundromat. It’s conveniently located within walking distance to multiple restaurants and activities.

Can not recommend this accommodation highly enough from location, design, privacy, staff and amenities. Quick, friendly greeting by three staff. A map to show us to our Deluxe accommodation.undercover parking, leafy outlook, upstairs to deck and suite. Umbrellas provided in cute ceramic gumboots. Coffee pod machine, a varied selection of teas and sachet coffee. Toaster & kettle. Heated floor and towel rail in bathroom . Double size shower cubicle. Glad we booked a dining table, as it was super busy. Pity one lady barely let us stand up before putting her jacket on my husbands seat. Poor staff had to be firm with her about prior reservations. Staff worked tirelessly and with a smile throughout the evening. A very relaxed and chilled stay. The mist on the mountain and glistening rain shining from the lush under storey was delightful to witness from our suite. Thank you.

The room itself was amazing! Beautiful and high end. The bonus of the barrel sauna across from our room was lovely. The big disappointment was the deplorable condition of the hot tub. It is cracked and broken, none of the jets work and was only warm. The hot tub did not meet my expectations at all. It needs to be replaced ASAP.

The deluxe tree room was ok, but the service and the rest of the facilities were both average at best. It’s located in a caravan park and surrounded by camper vans and hostel like rooms, but I would say the price of the room is not at all on par with the service you get. I also didn’t find the staff friendly and the kitchen in the room is really a kitchen by name only. It doesn’t even have a stove top and you can barely wash a glass in the sink.

GREAT LOCATION AND STAY!

Loved the Rainforest Deluxe! Actually wish that we had more time there! We only had 2 nights, but it was great! The hotel has such a great location and you can walk to everything. The restaurant on site is surprisingly good, usually hotel food is just okay, but this was really really great food! We stayed in the 2 bedroom with hot tub, and loved having the hot tub to relax in at night after hiking! Super clean and amazing layout! I'd comment on the views, but Franz Josef didn't like us while we were there and rained the whole time! HA! I'm sure the views are great! Also- the heated floors in the bathrooms are AMAZING!!! Loved it here! Would definitely recommend and stay again!!!

The "welcome" at check-in was not great - to say the least. The first impression of a hotel is always at the front desk and this person was definitely in the wrong job!
