Franz Josef Treetops, hotel in Franz Josef

Situated in the heart of the Franz Josef Village, and surrounded by native plants.

Beautiful, exceptionally clean, spacious 3 bedroom house. We loved the spa baths out the back and the beds were so comfortable. Elliot went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for not only the accommodation but information wise on the surrounding areas. When travelling to a country for the first time insider knowledge on the area is extremely helpful.

    I cannot recommend this place enough. The receptionist was so friendly. We got complimentary scones on arrival & popcorn, tea, coffee & hot chocolate in the common room. The room was cosy and comfortable. We also used the hot tub which was lovely.

    We liked the privacy of the cottage (the Kamahi holiday house) and the hot tub, which was very clean. Something to note is the 3rd and 4th bedrooms are accessed from the front deck, so no internal access to these rooms. This suited us with teenagers, who also loved having their own bathrooms, but for younger children it might not be ideal. We didn't realise this was the layout when we booked.

    Well equipped lodge close to Franz Josef town (about 5mins in a car). We stayed in the middle of winter but found the place to be cosy & warm - heated blankets and heaters in the living room and bathroom. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for a couple of nights stay and parking right by the front door. The manager was super friendly and helpful (sorry I didn’t get her name).

    Great showers (water pressure was amazing). Got upgraded from a hostel room to a motel room. Gorgeous location with stunning scenery. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free hot tub and sauna were definitely a bonus.

    The receptionist, Luca, was awesome. He was so friendly and helpful, he upgraded me and my friends to private cabins which was such a treat and we really loved it!! The hot tub and spa are really relaxing and the kitchen is super spacious.

    Excellent standard, this place is like a hotel not a lodge (at least our room was). Great value for not much money - actually it was our best and cheapest stay during two weeks in New Zealand. Very nice kitchen with a free coffee from a coffee machine, free popcorn, free welcome scone:-) Nice personnel. Clean bathroom with cosmetics provided. Even a hot tub included:-) Generally wonderful.

    The best hostel we have stayed in New Zealand. Modern, cozy, great shower pressure, spacious kitchen with dining area, there is even sauna with cold shower outside. Super friendly staff and in general nice atmosphere. We extended our stay for one more night and would definitely stay again.
