Glenfern Villas  

Perched in the mountains of Franz Josef Glacier, a short drive from Westcoast Wildlife Centre, Waiho Hot Tubs and Glacier Hot Pools. About 3 km from the town centre and roughly 133 km from Hokitika airport — perfect base for glacier days and alpine strolls.

This luxury aparthotel has 18 guestrooms, each with a private patio and fully equipped kitchen including full-sized fridge/freezer, oven and microwave. Rooms feature down comforters, double sofa beds, flat-screen TVs and in-room safes. Shared terrace and garden give sweeping mountain views and quiet moments. Family-friendly services like babysitting/childcare are available for a fee.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, concierge and tour/ticket assistance, a picnic area and barbecue/gas grills set the scene for easy days. Rent bikes to explore nearby trails, unwind in the library or soak up the view from the terrace. Free on-site self-parking makes arrivals simple.

Luggage storage, laundry facilities and a quiet library provide practical support for longer stays. Free self-parking is onsite and staff speak multiple languages.

Start smart with a continental breakfast served daily (fee applies). An on-site restaurant is available for larger meals, and the picnic and barbecue areas invite casual, self-catered cookouts after a day of exploring.
