We stayed in one of their tree houses and it was well appointed, clean and modern. Location is very good to access trails, and glacier touring operators. There is an onsite restaurant that has excellent food and drinks.

The location in the middle of the temperate rainforest and its access to the Franz-Joseph glacier is great. Ample parking. The hotel is beautifully decorated, and you feel connected to nature. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and well organized. We loved the bird sounds playing in the room and the bathroom. Awesome turndown service at night with glass water bottles & delish chocolates. Great laundry facilities on site. They truly matched the sounds of the real birds outdoors. The staff was absolutely 100% professional, helpful and accommodating. First class! The five course dinners were delicious and we really enjoyed the view tables They reserved for us each evening. We really like the all inclusive aspect of this retreat as you are pretty isolated once you arrive in France Joseph. This is a cozy spot to end up in at the end of the day!

Damage to the path means its only a 15 minute walk to a view...

Damage to the path means its only a 15 minute walk to a view point now, but you are further away. The constant noise of helicopters means you aren't really going to see the birds or feel you are particularly close to nature. The walks and car parks are excellent. It's just a bit of a sausage factory in summer.

Perfect retreat in the rainforest with easy access to Franz Josef glacier activities and hikes! Right in the small town center, everything is walkable. We stayed in one of the gecko cottages which was perfect for us! These seem updated and new. These have a large shower, tv and small kitchenette which were great! Felt very secluded in the rainforest while actually being very close to everything. The jacuzzi and sauna are right by reception for all the guests to use. There were many accommodation options here for all types of travelers.

Amazing location for hiking around both Fox and Franz Josef Glacier and accessing restaurants and grocery in town. Plenty of space in our comfortable and clean private room, loved the special touches at check in and access to the kitchen, and especially appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. Great stay!

The property is in a good location just outside of the town of Franz Josef Glacier. It was clean and comfortable and spacious inside. The kitchen was pretty well equipped, although it would have been useful to have a tea towel to dry dishes. We appreciated having 2 bathrooms and the laundry facilities were very useful. The area was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay.

We were booked here but upgraded to the Te Waonui hotel so please recognize that this review is actually of that facility. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. We enjoyed the Chef’s 5 course Degustation at the Canopy Restaurant at the hotel. Breakfasts provided plenty of variety. This was a great base to visit both Fox and Franz Josef glaciers.

This was one of the nicest rooms we encountered on our visit. Easy access to Franz Josef glacier area. 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.
