    Excellent beds and pillows. Electric blankets were a bonus. Lovely location tucked into the forest. 15 minute walk to Main Road with the cafes. Easy car park. Quiet. Good hot shower.

    Such a gem of a spot. Amazing decor, comfy beds and easy access. A very very cosy place. A home away from home. Thank you Elliot.

    Beautiful scenery and a lovely place, super clean, nestled in wilderness but you can walk to everywhere you need. Great place wish we had stayed for longer! We’ll be back for sure!

    The location, the views out of the window, nice and warm, comfy beds. Was easy to access and good communication from owners.

    It was warm, welcoming, and close to town. The bedrooms are luxurious, and the bathroom is huge. I have disabled friends, and it is great to see accommodation that I can recommend to them in places that they have yet to visit.

    The property is surrounded by a forest. Generally comfy beds with heater pads on the mattresses with a big fully equipped kitchen. Huge bathroom. The host responded to calls quite promptly and answers our queries. Other than a few minor issues,...

Elliot
Situated in central Franz Josef and completed in 2019, our 3 bedroom house is surrounded by forest yet a short distance from the Waiho hot tubs, Glacier Guides, iSite, restaurants and all the village of Franz Josef has to offer. Each bedroom contains a queen and single bed and a door leading onto a small deck. There is one bathroom with a shower and toilet in the same room. There is an equipped kitchen and dining area.
Hi my names Elliot and I'm a local. I enjoy the beautiful surroundings and friendly community that Franz Josef offers. I'm happy to provide advice about our area.
Franz Josef Village is most famous for its Glacier and rain forest surroundings. It also offers several nice restaurants and various activities including helicopter tours, hot tubs, hikes, live kiwi experiences and green stone carving.
