Accommodation In Franz Josef Glacier

Stay in our Franz Josef Glacier hotels and explore this amazing glacier. Some 140 glaciers flow from the Southern Alps, but of these only two (the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers) penetrate as far as the lower rainforests.

Few sights equal the spectacle of these giant tongues of ice grinding down through temperate rainforest to just 250 metres above sea level (this is the only place outside Argentina where this occurs). Visitors are often surprised to find such a warm/mild climate in Franz Josef (due to the moderating effect of the sea and rainforests), given the proximity of the glaciers and the highest peaks of the Southern Alps only a few kilometres from the township.

There are many tours and activities to be enjoyed, while staying in our Franz Josef Glacier hotels. Two guiding companies offer a variety of guided glacier walks & climbing experiences, to suit all ages and abilities. Heli-hikes and scenic flights with or without snow landings are also available. Other activities include a variety of rafting experiences, white heron sanctuary tours, rainforest and coastal walks. Franz Josef township offers a range of quality accommodation, hotels, cafés, arts & craft retail, a general store and service station for motoring needs.

Wotif Verified Review
5 / 5
We had a great stay here. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The highlight of the stay were the managers, Graham and Sheryl, who told us about a partial road closure and helped us plan our trip south. They also suggested which walks to do around the area, and gave us tips about dining in town. Highly recommend a stay here.
