Haka House Franz Josef  

In the heart of Franz Josef in New Zealand's Glacier Country, Haka House Franz Josef puts you steps from Westland Tai Poutini National Park. The central location makes heli-hikes, rainforest walks and glacier trips easy to reach.

A vibrant, down-to-earth hostel with cosy private rooms and fully equipped shared spaces for social travellers. Rooms include options with shared bathrooms; towels are provided for Twin and King rooms. The team is multilingual and the property offers wheelchair access.

On-site perks include a sauna, garden and lounge, plus picnic and barbecue areas for laid-back evenings. There’s a tour desk to book local excursions, laundry facilities, and car parking on the premises. Expect glacier-country mornings and views of the town and nearby peaks.

Free Wi‑Fi is available across the property and in rooms. Reception has limited opening hours, so plan arrival details in advance.

An on-site restaurant serves meals on-site, and you can grab a morning coffee while looking out over the town. Use the BBQ and picnic areas for casual, social dining after a day of adventure.
