    The villa was well appointed, warm and comfortable. Also we had a great view of the glacier.
  • Gaurav

    Has a bit of vintage feel to it with wooden cabins. Not that far from Franz Joseph city center (just over 2 kms). Very friendly staff. Great views from the villas. Board Games and Movies (DVDs) available to borrow from reception for the rainy day.

    Good quiet rural location within easy reach of town. Unit well set out, comfortable with good views. Lovely to have animals that children could hand feed.
