Can walk to most hikes to the glacier so ideal for a 2-3 day stay. The house is comfortable and well stocked and centrally located. It was great for our needs.
Comfortable and spacious in great central location
We had a really enjoyable 2 night stay. The house is within easy walking distance of attractions, restaurants and shops. We had a beautiful view of the mountains from the kitchen and one bedroom. Check in was super simple. Would definitely recommend.
The check in process was easy and the house was mostly as described however, many different aspects of the house show use and damage which need to be fixed. The surrounded area had many places to visit, including restaurants, walks and shops.

Loved our stay, were sad to leave.
Thank you for a lovely house in a beautiful location.
This was a comfy house for my family and I to stay in while visiting Franz Josef. Great walkable location in town. The shower was clogged with hair when we arrived which we resolved, though the owners did respond promptly to our message about this concern. Beds were comfortable and clean. We appreciated the supply of toys which our 3yo enjoyed.
This excellent property is very walkable to the amenities of the town. Great open floor plan of living room, eating area, and kitchen. Comfortable beds and lovely view of the glacier. There was an initial emergency with the cleaners before we arrived. The owner resolved it promptly and communicated the matter to us. After that though, the owner did not respond to our communications/questions.
It was the perfect place for us. We could see the glazier from the house and it was just perfect. Beautiful weather, neat and clean and so comfortable with lots of little extras in the kitchen to make our time amazing. I forgot a pillow and my host kindle had it delivered to my home front door. Really over and beyond. We made life memories. Thank you so much. Des
House as described, clean and had most of what we needed, we were there on wet days so a clothes drier would have been useful. Bedroom with single beds was small with no bedsides. Unable to take advantage of the outdoor space due to weather. We were surprised on our first evening by someone driving onto the property and parking in the garage, but other than that we were undisturbed.

Highly recommend this property. Clean, spacious in a central location
We enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and warm. We were pleasantly surprised to see a bit of the glacier from one of the bedroom windows on a clear day. Close to restaurants and other touristy things. The host was very accomodating of our requests :)
We stayed 2 nights in this comfortable house which is an easy walk to everything in the town of Franz Joseph: restaurants, some local tracks, and experience providers. Good location to drive to Fox Glacier area as well.
I spent there with my family a very nice stay! The house is very clean, very well equipped and beautiffuly decorated, quiet and pleasant. I recommend it without a doubt!
Perfect for a few nights. Great location with lots of space for our family. Off street parking and good views from the kitchen of the mountains.

The property is situated in the Franz Josef township and thus is accessible to nearby walks and dining options. It has some beautiful views from the kitchen. The house itself although was clean but lacked a few important things. It didn't have a bolt in the washroom which made it a bit inconvenient. The equipment were a bit rusty as well. Overall, although the place was clean and decent considering the price so would rate 4/5 overall.
Perfectly located for visiting the glaciers area, even a view of the glacier from the kitchen window! Spacious, comfortable house with everything you could need.
Susan was unbelievably helpful both before visiting and after, helping us to be reunited with some things we had accidentally left behind - definitely went above and beyond!
This cottage had everything we needed for our brief stay in Franz Josef. Close to shops and restaurants. The house is warm and well fitted out, renovated kitchen and bathroom a plus.
