This house looks good in the pictures, but unfortunately, the property is run-down and dirty. The house is in a good location and everything is walkable as indicated, but spider webs abounded in the corners of the walls, the shower/bathroom had not been cleaned for our arrival, and the beds were adequate but not comfortable. I'm not fussy about stuff like this unless it's REALLY noticeable. It was REALLY noticeable.

Comfortable and spacious in great central location

We had a really enjoyable 2 night stay. The house is within easy walking distance of attractions, restaurants and shops. We had a beautiful view of the mountains from the kitchen and one bedroom. Check in was super simple. Would definitely recommend.

Home surrounded by beautiful scenery.

The check in process was easy and the house was mostly as described however, many different aspects of the house show use and damage which need to be fixed. The surrounded area had many places to visit, including restaurants, walks and shops.

Convenient to Franz Joseph

We stayed 2 nights in this comfortable house which is an easy walk to everything in the town of Franz Joseph: restaurants, some local tracks, and experience providers. Good location to drive to Fox Glacier area as well.

Great location in Franz Josef

This was a comfy house for my family and I to stay in while visiting Franz Josef. Great walkable location in town. The shower was clogged with hair when we arrived which we resolved, though the owners did respond promptly to our message about this concern. Beds were comfortable and clean. We appreciated the supply of toys which our 3yo enjoyed.

Great home for families

We enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and warm. We were pleasantly surprised to see a bit of the glacier from one of the bedroom windows on a clear day. Close to restaurants and other touristy things. The host was very accomodating of our requests :)

Brilliant stay!

Perfectly located for visiting the glaciers area, even a view of the glacier from the kitchen window! Spacious, comfortable house with everything you could need. Susan was unbelievably helpful both before visiting and after, helping us to be reunited with some things we had accidentally left behind - definitely went above and beyond!

Convenient location

This excellent property is very walkable to the amenities of the town. Great open floor plan of living room, eating area, and kitchen. Comfortable beds and lovely view of the glacier. There was an initial emergency with the cleaners before we arrived. The owner resolved it promptly and communicated the matter to us. After that though, the owner did not respond to our communications/questions.

Awesome stay. Beautiful views

It was the perfect place for us. We could see the glazier from the house and it was just perfect. Beautiful weather, neat and clean and so comfortable with lots of little extras in the kitchen to make our time amazing. I forgot a pillow and my host kindle had it delivered to my home front door. Really over and beyond. We made life memories. Thank you so much. Des

Good Location, unfortunately a bit outdated and not clean.

Location was spacious and good located. Unfortunately the apartment needs a few repairs, e.g. the bathroom windows could not be closed. Cutlery was badly cleaned and too few towels.

Christmas family stay

House as described, clean and had most of what we needed, we were there on wet days so a clothes drier would have been useful. Bedroom with single beds was small with no bedsides. Unable to take advantage of the outdoor space due to weather. We were surprised on our first evening by someone driving onto the property and parking in the garage, but other than that we were undisturbed.

The property is situated in the Franz Josef township and thus is accessible to nearby walks and dining options. It has some beautiful views from the kitchen. The house itself although was clean but lacked a few important things. It didn't have a bolt in the washroom which made it a bit inconvenient. The equipment were a bit rusty as well. Overall, although the place was clean and decent considering the price so would rate 4/5 overall.

Although the house says mid-century, it's actually pretty spacious and modern with three bedrooms. It's clear the home has been gradually renovated and is neatly decorated with everything a family needs. The induction cooktops are quick and easy to whip up a meal in quick time (although there is no rangehood so you need to be mindful of steam/smoke from the cooking. The heat pump air conditioning unit was quick to warm up the living room and the bedrooms are heated by a panel heater in the corridor. The washing machine was very handy as was the supplied clothes drying rack (there is an outdoor clothesline too if you are lucky enough to get Franz Josef on a sunny day). The house is a short walk to the main shops and across the road from the kiwi centre. The two walks (Tunnel Walk and Callery Gorge) are also less than 5 mins walk to trail head. Also a shoutout to the host, Susan, who was very accommodating and very responsive.

This is a wonderful house with lots of space and a great location in Franz Joseph. It had a well equipped kitchen, lots of space in the living room, and three bedrooms. There is only one bathroom, but the other spaces make up for that. We really enjoyed our stay there.
