The property was large and comfortable. There was plenty of space to put your suitcases. The property was clean and everything worked as expected. The only criticism would be that you had to drive into the town. You could walk but that would mean walking on the highway.

Absolutely gorgeous setting with a view of the glacier. Villa was comfortable (except for the lack of bedside lamps) with a nice kitchen and good beds. Loved that they had free DVDs available (which we took advantage of thanks to a very rainy afternoon and evening) and laundry facilities. The town of Franz Joseph Glacier was cute but food options weren't great - I'd suggest cooking in. Glad we had 2 nights here!

There was complementary laundry soap provided and we were able to use the coin operated washer and dryer. The owner (I think she was the owner) was very friendly and gave us great tips about the area. It’s a quick 3 minute drive into town where there are restaurants, shops, cafes and a little grocery store. Best of all was the welcome party - her sweet dog!

Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Location of our unit was close to highway and noisy. Our unit had an odor that wasn’t too pleasant either. I think the units need some updating. They were clean and bedding was comfortable.

Great hosts. Quiet location easy access to town.
Some of the restaurants will pick you and return for free. Reception will arrange it all.
Clean facilities for laundering your clothes they even supply detergent sachet.

Check-in staff was helpful and easy process to deal with. Property feels very dated and smells quite musty (not sure if because of the rain). This property is quite a way from where everything else is. Though the view of the mountains from the villa was great

Spacious accommodation, a bit isolated but they try hard to provide you with everything you might need for your stay.

A satisfactory stay.

We arrived at about 7.30 pm. As the reception closes at 8 pm, Rudy was in a bit of a hurry but was cajoled into supplying us a spare duvet for the queen bed. GF room & the 1 bathroom were a little small, for the 2 bedroom villa. Good supply of drinking water.

Villa has everything. Unfortunately wifi is not working. Need to drive to town. At night hotel sign board has no lights. Road also no street lamps, so easily missed the hotel when going back from Town.

We spent 2 extra days here due to regional flooding and washed out roads. The staff were very helpful in keeping us updated. There was no problem staying longer. A very pleasant apartment, warm and dry in the midst of a big storm.

Very nice units approx 2 miles away from Franz Josef town.
Wi-Fi signal could be a little stronger, as it kicks you out every 10 minutes. A washer and dryer is by the reception for extra charge.

Conveniently located, spacious, very clean. WiFi was spotty, but likely due to remote location. Road noise.

We had the two bedroom loft villa. It had plenty of room for 5 people. The decor was pleasant as well. Location was slighty out of town but that was fine too giving you a country escape feel.

Good value for a ok Accomodation

People and service are very nice. The villa is not as big as it seems on photo. and water could flow out of the shower area to the whole bathroom even into outside of the bathroom. There needs to be a drainage for other area in the bathroom.
