The 5 course dinner was nice and so too was the breakfast buffet. The rooms are nice and have a pleasant view overlooking dense vegetation.

We stayed here for one night on our travels around the south island. The hotel is really well located to the centre of the town with plentiful car parking. The staff were friendly and the accommodation comfortable and similar to the motel style of many hotels in New Zealand. Breakfast and dinner was included and was pleasant. The price is a little higher than we would pay for similar accommodation elsewhere but given the location was good value.
Glow Worm Accommodation is located in the center of Franz Josef and offers a range of shared dormitory rooms and private en suite rooms. Free unlimited WiFi is included.

We love that all the hotels, restaurants, cafes and activities are all within walking distance. All the staff that we have met for our helicopter ride and hike were excellent and so friendly! It is a very relaxing place yet fun to be having a holiday at Franz Josef. But I do wish you could review the restaurant pricing as they are very steep. With all the holidaymakers in the area, all need to eat and drink so no need to charge so high...i think you will invite more tourists to the area if prices of food are less expensive.

We stayed there because I am a keen bird photographer and I wanted to visit the Whataroa bird sanctuary. We initially only booked 3 nights but there is so much to do around there we extended it to 5. while there we went to lake Matherson, Fox Glacier, a beautiful bush walk especially down the moraine track, Franz Joseph Glacier not visible due to mist and Okarito which has a beautiful coast and large lagoon but unfortunately the weather was not great so next time.

A great place to stay while on the road in NZ. Offers all the amenities required at budget prices, while not compromising on standards. The common kitchen is clean and well maintained. The lounge is friendly place to meet. Love to come back sometime

Franz Josef is a must do destination when travelling in the South Island, especially if you like the outdoors. Got up early and travelled to Lake Matheson to watch the sunrise - possibly the best experience in all our years of travelling. The cafe at Lake Matheson was brilliant as well and Alice May restaurant in Franz Josef was brilliant for dinner.

A must see on any New Zealand itinerary, but one day is sufficient. Perfect for adventurous young people who like walking, not so much for older persons. The helicopter ride was bit of a rip-off as the weather closed in and we could not land on the glacier. Although they did give us a little refund, it was not up to our expectations and very expensive 20 minute ride.

Beautiful World Heritage site with exquisite natural flora and fauna. The walks were amongst the most scenic and beautiful we’ve ever experienced. Only downside, which I feel needs to be more clearly explained to visitors, is that the glaciers themselves can only be seen and viewed from the lookout points if it is a clear day without low hanging cloud. We were disappointed to not actually see the Franz Josef Glacier nor the Fox Glacier from the fartherest reach of the walks. Environmentally, we were not prepared to fly/chopper to see the glaciers from the air. Nevertheless, the walks themselves are a must do, driving through the region is gob-smackingly beautiful and the walk around Lake Matheson a must see.

My husband and I stayed here just for one night before our Franz Josef Glacier heli-hike tour.
Easy 2 min drive to the township for dinner.
Seamless afterhours check in with key in lockbox.
Great communication by staff via messages for all relevant information.
Heater was great which dried out all of our wet jackets and the cottage was so spacious!
I would recommend others to stay here.
Private, parking right at the door and such an amazing view too!!
Having driven for 5 hours from Queenstown, arriving at the Aspen Court was a very welcome relief from such a journey. We had a great welcome on checking in and got a quick round down on things to do and places to eat. Our room was spotless, offering a super king sized bed, which was extremely comfortable, along with a very well kitted out kitchen area and large shower room. Aspen Court has to be the place to stay in Franz Josef. We loved it.
The location is excellent, with easy access to Franz Josef township and only 30 minutes from Fox, but slightly out of town to be away from the noise. The two bed apartment we had was spacious and had two separate bathrooms, which is a plus compared to similar accommodation in New Zealand.
This is by far the best hotel in the Franz Josef area. We really enjoyed our stay here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Location is central to shops and restaurants. All good!
