While the weather can be a bit more unpredictable with occasional rain, there are fewer crowds, and accommodation prices can be more favourable. You can still enjoy all the main activities, and the changing foliage in autumn adds another layer of beauty to the landscape. This time is superb for travellers who prefer a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Franz Josef Glacier hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Franz Josef Glacier hotel? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - Cars - Other - More ways to book - [Hotels near Bruce Bay Beach ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruce-Bay-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248635975287705-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Bruce Bay Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruce-Bay-Hotels.d6049781.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Beach Resorts & in Westland District ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Westland-District-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d3000652636-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) - [Westland District Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Westland-District.d3000652636.Hotel-Destinations) - [Adults Only Resorts & in Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d181325-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Luxury Hotels in Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d181325-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Hotels near Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fox-Glacier-Hotels.0-l6110684-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Fox Glacier Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fox-Glacier-Hotels.d181325.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Glacier Hot Pools ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glacier-Hot-Pools-Hotels.0-l553248621526970637-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Hari Hari Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hari-Hari-Hotels.d553248635926198172.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Kakapotahi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kakapotahi-Hotels.d6351173.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Karangarua Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karangarua-Hotels.d692486010754002944.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Lake Paringa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Paringa-Hotels.0-l6110686-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Okarito Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okarito-Hotels.d6359423.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Ross Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ross-Hotels.d3000388378.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Waiho Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waiho-Hotels.d692482300265066496.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Westland Tai Poutini National Park Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Westland-Tai-Poutini-National-Park-Hotels.d6351337.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Whataroa Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whataroa-Hotels.d3000400422.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Bruce Bay ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Bruce-Bay.d6049781.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fox-Glacier-Westland-Tai-Poutini-National-Park.d6110684.Attraction) - [Peak Viewpoint ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peak-Viewpoint-Fox-Glacier.d553248635998005744.Attraction) - [Ross Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ross.d3000388378.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Westland District ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Westland-District.dx3000652636) - [Visit Westland Tai Poutini National Park ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Westland-Tai-Poutini-National-Park.dx6351337) - [Car hire Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Fox-Glacier.d181325.Car-Hire-Guide) - [Things to do in Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Fox-Glacier.d181325.Travel-Guide-Activities) - [Book Hotels in Franz Josef Glacier on Expedia.co.nz ](https://www.expedia.co.nz/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels.d10398.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
