It is a good choice near Fox Glacier. All rooms were fully booked that day. The cottage is equipped with necessary kitchen utensils, but there is no dishwasher. The only drawback is that there is only one toilet, and you have to queue to use it, but it is the best choice overall.

One of the best hotel I have staying in NZ trip. Helpful staffs and can meet sheep at own farm. It has stunning view but a bit cold, so don't forget to turn on heater during night time.

The receptionist was super friendly and helpful, and we loved that the place is a bit outside of the town, so it’s super quiet during night time. The villa was clean and big, v suitable for a family.

Some areas a bit tired and needing upgrade/maintenance to justify the expensive price tag (but that seems to be franz josef all over) but on the whole it was a comfortable nice place to stay. Friendly helpful staff
