Franz Country House

On the edge of Franz Josef Glacier, about 4 km from the town centre. Close to Glacier Hot Pools, Westcoast Wildlife Centre, Glacier Country Kayaks and Our Lady of the Alps — an easy base for glacier chases and West Coast adventures.

A family-friendly country house with a relaxed, rustic vibe and a touch of modern comfort. Rooms feature private furnished balconies, fireplaces and flat-screen TVs; some include DVD players. Kitchens come with full-sized fridges, ovens and stovetops, and the property offers private check-in/out.

Take in the views from the terrace and garden, or kick back in the picnic area and barbecue grills. There are playrooms for kids, tour/ticket assistance, laundry facilities and free on-site self parking — plus complimentary wireless internet throughout.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Luggage storage and laundry facilities make longer stays easy.

Self-catering friendly with full kitchens in-room for easy meal prep. Fire up the barbecue or picnic on the lawn and enjoy fresh local ingredients after a day on the glacier.
