Our 1 night stay was wonderful. The villa was extremely clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. 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! ##### Taylor Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jessica 24 Jan 2024 Disliked: Communication Advertised wifi so slow it is unusable - takes 5 minutes to load a page. Would have booked elsewhere if we knew this but the area was lovely. ##### Jessica Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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! ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Very clean and well presented.

Great having undercover parking especially on the west coast! ##### Matt Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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 ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Absolutely beautiful rooms! Wonderful staff! Our unit though was a little close to the road and wish we were facing mountains instead. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Nice quiet place with Mountain View. Comfy a short drive to town. No shops nearby. Need to book a breakfast bundle by 18.00. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia 6 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfekt boende förutom wifiåtkomst Boendet förstjänar 5 stjärnor men wifi funkar knappt, framförallt när många gäster använder wifi samtidigt. Mobil täckning också dåligt så man måste åka in till Franz Josef för att kunna använda internet. För övrigt ett perfekt boende; stort, rent och mycket trevlig personal. ##### Patricia Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria 19 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication My only regret was not booking more than one night here. It was a great property with comfortable amenities and so much green space for the kids to run around and play in. They also loved the sheep and cows on the property. The staff was super friendly and helpful too. ##### Victoria Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Florent 20 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Acceuil et villa impeccable, offrant de magnifiques vues sur les sommets environnants ##### Florent Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah 9 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication We were very pleased with Glenfern Villas. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with a great covered parking area. This came in very handy since it was pouring rain. The staff was excellent and provided advice when our route was closed due to flooding. ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Iberostar Waves Royal Andalus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiclana-De-La-Frontera-Hotels-Iberostar-Royal-Andalus.h2858301.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Southampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d3245--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Norida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kos-Hotels-Mitsis-Norida-Beach-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h2591026.Hotel-Information) > > [Hide out Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ios-Hotels-Hide-Out-Suites.h21197005.Hotel-Information) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Miami](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d178286-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dalgair House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Callander-Hotels-Dalgair-House-Hotel.h1954791.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.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) > > [Hotels in Taupō](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taupo-Hotels.d3571.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Marina.h16032.Hotel-Information) > > [H15 Boutique Hotel, Warsaw, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warsaw-Hotels-H15-Boutique-Hotel.h5552221.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Haringey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haringey-London-Hotels.0-n179529-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pinzolo-Hotels-Lefay-Resort-SPA-Dolomiti.h36062966.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Mallorca Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mallorca-Island-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d602317-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westlynne Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-The-Westlynne-Hotel-Apartments.h17245348.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wheatsheaf Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-The-Wheatsheaf-Inn.h18370667.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Auckland (AKL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/akl/aberdeen-to-auckland) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Faro (FAO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cdg/fao/paris-to-faro) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bom/ktm/mumbai-to-kathmandu) > > [Flights from Romney Marsh (LYX) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lyx/gla/lydd-to-glasgow) > > [Air Transat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Air-Transat-Flights.cTS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Melbourne (MEL) to Adelaide (ADL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mel/adl/melbourne-to-adelaide) > > [Flights from Madinah (MED) to Jeddah (JED)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/med/jed/madinah-to-jeddah) ### Cars > [Car hire in Lloret de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Lloret-De-Mar.d5749.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Holiday Rentals > [Torquay Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Holiday-Rentals.d5453.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals)
