    The location was great, it was quiet and restful after a long day of driving. Located near Franz Josef, a three minute drive. Great access to hiking and attractions in the area.

    Had all the comforts. We were well looked after. Great info from Lauren. All our needs were catered for. Unfortunately didn't get our heli hike due to bag weather. So have to come back to Franz Josef and would definitely stay at Glenfern Villas again
