Family-friendly vacation rentals in Franz Josef / Waiau

Cabin was exactly as described, tucked in a peaceful setting while also only a short drive to the center of Franz Joseph. Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy and efficient, which was very helpful since we arrived a bit late and left a bit early. The cabin is cozy, but great size for our family of four. Thanks for hosting us. Would highly recommend.

The place was a cute little place that was in an excellent location. It was handy to have a small kitchen & mini fridge to make easy meals. The bathroom was large and nicely decorated. We really loved the hot tub and sauna. The area felt like a spa.

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene surroundings & the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The hut was spotless, beautifully designed & equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thoughtful touches, such as cozy furnishings & well-placed amenities, made us feel right at home. The location was perfect—peaceful yet conveniently close to local attractions. Waking up to breathtaking views was a highlight & enjoying our morning coffee in such a tranquil setting was truly refreshing. The outdoor space was equally delightful, offering a great spot to unwind & take in the natural beauty. Judith was an exceptional host, providing clear communication & ensuring we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail & genuine hospitality made our experience even more special. This stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing getaway or a cozy overnight retreat, this property is a perfect choice. Highly Recommended!

Really enjoyed the stay. Appreciated the flexible check-in and communication/solution regarding item left behind.

A beautiful little chalet, clean, comfortable and the right mix of modern and classic. It was quiet and peaceful. Great to have access to a sauna and spa. Standout and highlight of the stay was Frankie’s doting company - he even joined me on the couch! Thanks Judith for having us - highly recommended!!

Place was so awesome! Nice clean, good space for 3 adults and 2 infants. There was some fresh eggs, fresh milk and mandarins! It was so amazing. As it's farm, in the morning me and my kid could see milking cow, some ducks and chickens with chicks. Shame that we couldn't stay one more day. I really recommend this place.

Easy place to stay! Monsoon restaurant was fun and busy but didn’t hear a sound from room.

Great place, beautiful location right next to the mountain. Place looked the same as photos advertised.

Trish’s B&B was just beautiful. Mum and I enjoyed our stayed, the surroundings were so lovely and Trish was so helpful with ideas on things to do and where to eat. The breakfast provided was also plentiful with lots of variety and we sat with Trish and her partner had a nice conversation. Worth staying here if you are passing through Fox Glacier or needing to stay a couple of days. Thanks Trish!

A spacious home with a lovely setting, with plenty of space to spread out. Easy walking distance to the center with a good selection of restaurants. A variety of excellent walking trails are within a short distance by car and well worth doing. We really enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful place Trish has ! The accomodation itself was super clean and well appointed. The breakfast the next morning was delicious! The scenery is unreal and the kids enjoyed interacting with the sheep and chickens Would absolutely recommend

Isaac’s place was exactly as described, super clean and in a private and quiet location within a stone’s throw distance outside town. Everything was great. Would definitely stay again when visiting Franz Josef!

This place was clean and a short drive to Franz Joseph township. It had a wonderful view of the glacier. Overall very happy with the accommodation and location.
