A must see on any New Zealand itinerary, but one day is sufficient. Perfect for adventurous young people who like walking, not so much for older persons. The helicopter ride was bit of a rip-off as the weather closed in and we could not land on the glacier. Although they did give us a little refund, it was not up to our expectations and very expensive 20 minute ride.JohnAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
Beautiful World Heritage site with exquisite natural flora...
Beautiful World Heritage site with exquisite natural flora and fauna. The walks were amongst the most scenic and beautiful we’ve ever experienced. Only downside, which I feel needs to be more clearly explained to visitors, is that the glaciers themselves can only be seen and viewed from the lookout points if it is a clear day without low hanging cloud. We were disappointed to not actually see the Franz Josef Glacier nor the Fox Glacier from the fartherest reach of the walks. Environmentally, we were not prepared to fly/chopper to see the glaciers from the air. Nevertheless, the walks themselves are a must do, driving through the region is gob-smackingly beautiful and the walk around Lake Matheson a must see.VanessaAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0

Our helihike was cancelled due to weather, so we did a quad bike in the rain. IT WAS AWESOME! We smiled for the entire two hours. There is a sweet chapel for quiet and reflection. We never saw the glaciers as it rained for three days straight which was so sad. The grocery and a few restaurants were enough to find something to eat.AmyUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0

We were unlucky with the weather, as there was low cloud and some rain. We took a couple of walks to see the glacier from viewing points which were really good. Paths were very good, not muddy, and there were signs to explain the ecology and history.JackieUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A small town with a couple of shops and plenty pubs/restaurants. The glacier is 7kms from the town - drive to the car park and then there’s a short walk to the viewing area - you’ll need binoculars or a long lens to truly appreciate the beauty of the glacier. Fox Glacier is 30 mins away and again there’s a pretty uphill walk to a viewing area. You can get a helicopter onto the glacier but they are $$$. Lake Mathewson is worth visiting while in Fox, park at the car park and walk 30/40 mins to the jetty. Beautiful especially at sunset but use bug spray as there are lots of midgies!GillianUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Our room was spacious and comfortable, meals were of a high quality, with breakfast outstanding, and all staff friendly, welcoming and efficient. When weather closed off our helicopter flights we had no problem extending our stay in the same room inspite of almost a fully booked hotel. Our experience at Scenic Franz Joseph led us to book Scenic in Dunedin and we experienced the same high quality there.AlanAustralia

- From £57.19 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,286 reviewsThe Alpine Glacier Motel is well situated in the Franz Josef Glacier village, within walking distance to all the eateries, the helicopter landing area and adventure booking offices. Anthony was the duty manager when we arrived and he is very professional, helpful and friendly as are all the staff there. The room was exceptionally clean and with all the necessary items for a self catering stay. Our room had a small decking out the back from which you could see the snow capped mountains. We had a wonderful and momentous stay.DaveAustralia
- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 173 reviewsThe 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.ClaireAustralia
- 8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,012 reviewsWe were notified that due to this hotel temporarily closing for winter they had changed us to their Te Waonui Forest Retreat instead and it was amazing. From the moment we arrived the staff were so lovely we were greeted with a hot towel and welcome drink our bags were taken straight to our beautiful room, which was so warm and welcoming. We dined in their restaurant for dinner and breakfast and both meals were fantastic. We would definitely stay again if we returned to Franz Josef

Beautiful drive on West Coast road to Haast Pass and on to Wanaka. Great facility. A Hostel, but with very nice private rooms. Great central living room with big kitchen. Coffee and cereal and bread provided. Very close to sound really nice restaurants and a pay laundromat.
DouglasUnited States - From £105.08 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 907 reviewsMost important is the motel has a generator so we had power when a major storm closed highway in/out of Franz Joseph Glacier and knocked down power lines for more than 24 hours. Room looks new or newly renovated. Table and kitchen counters are quartz, nicer than I would expect of a motel. Kitchen has everything thing necessary to prepare meals if so desired.KKarlUnited States
