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.

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.

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 :)

The property was very clean, had good facilites and was very spacious. If we're being picky, a recycle bin would have been useful as we had to collect up our recyclables and take to the local supermarket

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 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.

Comfortable and roomy
The house was spacious and comfortable. There were plenty of room in the lounge room. Located close to restaurants. Beautiful area. Only one issue was the location of laundry, access from the outside around the other side of house difficult when raining. Overall fantastic stay.

Nice large place in the centre of the town. No issues with property owner themselves. However, neighbouring properties appear to be abandoned or in a state of disrepair
