Franz Josef Oasis, hotel in Whataroa

Opened in 2014 and offering 20 luxurious rooms with free WiFi, Franz Josef Oasis is just 10 minutes’ drive from the Franz Josef Glacier.

Lovely room with view out over gardens and pond, and what was probably beautiful scenery which due to the weather we could not see. The included continental style breakfast was very nice. The young German lady Fransisca who appeared to do everything at the hotel was really lovely, helpful and friendly, a great front of house asset.

Westholm Lodge, hotel in Whataroa

Westholm Lodge is situated in Harihari. This bed and breakfast has a garden and free private parking. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

Beautiful spacious property and house in Harihari on the West Coast of the South Island. Wonderful large suite upstairs in the accommodation part of the property. Everything thought of. As the area has very few food establishments, we were able to order a dinner each and they were also excellent. Full use of a guest lounge available and a really lovely garden area around the property. The hosts are great. Excellent light continental style breakfast included. We will return.

Rainforest Retreat, hotel in Whataroa

Deep In the heart of west coast glacier country, Rainforest Retreat offers a range of accommodation set amongst lush native bush in the Franz Josef township.

This is the loveliest property to stay at, the native bush is so beautiful and really makes it feel like a special retreat. We ended up in a deluxe tree hut which was very comfortable, great views and huge bathroom with underfloor heating. I only wish I lived closer so I could stay here more often!

    Such a peaceful location with stunning mountain views.

    Such a peaceful location with stunning mountain views. Had a great night with the other guests chatting around the dining table. Unfortunately I grabbed a bite to eat before arriving and missed the amazing dinner they were having but was able to enjoy a few glasses of wine and their company. The bed was so comfortable and much appreciated after my all day trip from Wellington. Woke up to the sound of bird song and the distant moo of a cow. The view of the sun rising over Mount Adam from the lounge with fresh coffee in hand set the tone for the rest of my day. Breakfast was generous, hearty and delicious. Much, much better than a Motel stay and felt more like visiting friends.
