Property always gave great suggestions of things to do and see. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 21 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Friends road trip We had friends visiting from Aussie so were doing a south island road trip. A great stay at this property at Franz Josef. Cute cabin style, warm and quiet. Could sleep 9 so is a good option for families and groups. Waiho hot tubs just around the corner, these were a highlight. Great communication with property owner. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Fantastic stay Very clean! All the 3 rooms got a double bed and a single bed! The bathroom is extremely big but we have to share among 6 people! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jenny 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Room comfort, communication #### Not suitable for nine guests Within easy walking distance of town. Beds were comfortable and heaters in the house worked well but the bathroom was not heated and was very cold. Living area/kitchen cramped and settees very uncomfortable. House would be better with bathroom divided into two shower rooms/toilets and only two bedrooms with third bedroom made into additional living space. ##### Jenny Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Manuela 9 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The bedrooms had good beds, nicely made up - but there were no storage spaces/cupboards. The lounge/dining/kitchen area felt cramped & uncomfortable. The hot water in the kitchen did not work, but we were expected to do our own dishes, otherwise we would have been charged $25 extra. Parking & getting out of the property was difficult due the large bolders framing the drive rather tightly. We would not stay there again. Also: Considering the above, the place is definitely not worth its nightly price. ##### Manuela Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Fabulous accommodation. Short stroll to town. Private & well equipped. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfy and spacious bedrooms with a TV in each. The only criticism is the windy driveway with big rocks making for some close calls trying to back out. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### C 7 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### C Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 14 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location large and comfortable.

Both the motel and Expedia need to review their policies as we still got charged even though there were 870 tourists stuck in Franz Josef, ( would of filled the room quite quickly) We had been in contact with the motel.So not happy. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had booked for a night in forest view. The place was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely come back to this place ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Rockley by Ocean Hotels - Breakfast Included](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rockley-Hotels-South-Beach-Hotel-By-Ocean-Hotels.h889877.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mendoza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mendoza-Hotels.d2255.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [FERGUS Club Palmanova Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Hotel-Ibersol-Son-Caliu-Mar.h4772829.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Rotterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotterdam-Hotels-CitizenM-Rotterdam.h6329694.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Leeds City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-City-Center-Leeds-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-n6340976-0-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Novotel Marrakech Hivernage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Novotel-Marrakech-Hivernage.h2434358.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Scottish Victorian Country House In The Trossachs/Loch Lomond- 6 bedrooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Callander-Hotels-Unique-Scottish-Victorian-Country-House-In-The-TrossachsLoch-Lomond-6-Bedrooms.h22151878.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Portland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels.d182615.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels.d6084756.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chesterfield-Hotels-Ringwood-Hall-Hotel-Spa.h28073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Liverpool Hunts Cross Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hunts-Cross-Station-Hotels.d6042455.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Apartments Verona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Verona-Apartments.d6046582-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [B&B Lichfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lichfield-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4677-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Porto Santo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Santo-Hotels.d2919.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Access Paris Massy Gare TGV](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Massy-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Access-Paris-Massy-Gare-TGV.h9141331.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Brussels City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Brussels-City.h28371.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Villaggio Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-Villaggio-Hotel-Restaurant.h12752531.Hotel-Information) > > [Trebovir Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Trebovir-Hotel.h2987607.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Luton (LTN) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ltn/jfk/london-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ibz/bhx/ibiza-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Doha (DOH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/doh/dublin-to-doha) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Bari (BRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bri/london-to-bari) ### Packages > [Kalkan Bazaar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalkan-Bazaar-Kas.d6335922.Attraction) > > [United Kingdom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays/190/United-Kingdom) > > [Mirabell Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mirabell-Palace-City-Centre-Salzburg.d507939.Attraction)
