What guests loved the most

“A very pleasant and comfortable room opening onto rainforest. Dinner was a five-course menu, and delicious. The hotel is ideally located on the edge of Franz Josef.”

, United Kingdom

“The location is very central in Franz Josef. The room is large and comfortable. The rainforest at your window is very unusual and the balcony view is very exotic”

, USA

, Switzerland

“Travelling with a friend the two king sized beds in our room were great. Complimentary bottle of champagne the first evening was a very nice surprise.”

, Thailand

“Great staff. Great welcome. Expectations were high.”

, United Kingdom

“Food was great - dinner courses could have been served a little further apart but all was great overall”

, Canada

“(Free) valet parking Maori welcome & our photos with him (Free) wine upon entry, before checking in ! (Free) champagne in room Heated slab in bathroom Food .... wow !!! Glacier view outside the window during breakfast.”

, Australia

“Beautiful accommodation. Very nice welcome and reception, although maybe a little over the top? Nice clean room, modern, although I was expecting a view, the view was just of a garden. Dinner was average - I think the chef is trying too hard to be fancy, but it didn't really work, I think they'd be better off offering 3 good courses using simpler offerings which would work better. The breakfast was terrible, worst I've experienced in a long time. Staff very nice and friendly. Good location. On it's own the accommodation is 4/5, ignoring the food.”

, Australia

“Staff was wonderful ! Location was walking distance to everything! Quite!”

, USA

“Great location on the edge of the forest, next to hot baths; very quiet. Attractive design.”
