Lovely little village in the mountains.

Lovely little village in the mountains. We took the glacier helicopter flight which was spectacular. Also there are lots of walks to choose from. Plenty of restaurants also in the village. Franz Josef is a worthwhile tourist destination for a short visit

The glacier is not reachable anymore.

The glacier is not reachable anymore. The area is roped off from a great distance away. A few years ago we walked right up to bottom of the glacier. The only way to see the glacier now is by helicopter at a great cost.

The glacier area is a wonderful place to visit. The weather can be unpredictable so we recommend booking your activities for first thing in the morning, the weather tends to get worse throughout the day.

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.

The rural location was superb with views to the Franz Josef Glacier. We were so glad we stayed out of town. Although it's an excellent town with supermarket, cafes and facilities we enjoyed the rural surrounds of Te Awa Cottages. They felt homey, warm and comfortable with everything we needed to explore the region including maps. We enjoyed sitting on the the wide veranda, watching the sun set over the mountains and the night sky. It was one of our favourite places we stayed and we'd love to come back one day.

Very well designed and furnished was the room. All the comfort was there, even an leather sofa with a big coffee table and as surprise there was a fireplace (gas). And the patio was wonderful and straight against the rainforest. The cleanliness and comfort was excellent. The location was ideal, only few steps away from all the cafes and restaurants and the Franz Josef Glacier was only a short drive away.

This place is all about the glacier and associated trips; Alice May is the well-known restaurant. Our chalet at Aspen Court, convenient for local amenities and a 10 minute walk to the glacier view point, was spacious, spotlessly clean, impeccably-fitted and equipped, light and airy, with easy parking; no aircon the only negative. VFM at $297pn OK. Rating 9.5/10.

The house was great for our stay in Franz Josef to do the glacier heli-hike. The kitchen was outstanding for cooking our own meals and the fireplace came in handy the night after hiking the glacier and glow worm cave. The whole experience of the house was relaxing and a nice break from the hotels we had been staying in.
