While the weather can be a bit more unpredictable with occasional rain, there are fewer crowds, and accommodation prices can be more favourable. You can still enjoy all the main activities, and the changing foliage in autumn adds another layer of beauty to the landscape. This time is superb for travellers who prefer a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Franz Josef Glacier hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Franz Josef Glacier hotel? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Lodging - Flights - Packages - Cars - Other - More ways to book - [Hotels near Bruce Bay Beach ](https://www.expedia.ca/Bruce-Bay-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248635975287705-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Bruce Bay Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Bruce-Bay-Hotels.d6049781.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Westland District Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Westland-District.d3000652636.Hotel-Destinations) - [B&B in Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Bed-And-Breakfast.d181325-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Luxury Hotels in Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d181325-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Fox Glacier Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels.d181325.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Franz Josef Glacier ](https://www.expedia.ca/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels.0-l6110682-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Hari Hari Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Hari-Hari-Hotels.d553248635926198172.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Jacobs River Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Jacobs-River-Hotels.d553248635926198430.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Karangarua Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Karangarua-Hotels.d692486010754002944.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Lake Matheson ](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Matheson-Hotels.0-l553248621526966904-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Okarito Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Okarito-Hotels.d6359423.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Cabin Rentals in Ross ](https://www.expedia.ca/Ross-Cabins.d3000388378-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Guest Houses in Ross ](https://www.expedia.ca/Ross-Guest-Houses.d3000388378-aaGuestHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Ross Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Ross-Hotels.d3000388378.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Waiho Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Waiho-Hotels.d692482300265066496.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Westland Tai Poutini National Park Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Westland-Tai-Poutini-National-Park-Hotels.d6351337.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Whataroa Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Whataroa-Hotels.d3000400422.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Fox Glacier ](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheap-Flights-To-Fox-Glacier.d181325.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Visit Bruce Bay ](https://www.expedia.ca/Bruce-Bay.dx6049781) - [Fox Glacier Glow Worm Forest ](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Glow-Worm-Forest-Fox-Glacier.d553248635998002087.Vacation-Attraction) - [Visit Hari Hari ](https://www.expedia.ca/Hari-Hari.dx553248635926198172) - [Lake Matheson ](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Matheson-West-Coast.d553248621526966904.Vacation-Attraction) - [Visit Westland District ](https://www.expedia.ca/Westland-District.dx3000652636) - [Visit Westland Tai Poutini National Park ](https://www.expedia.ca/Westland-Tai-Poutini-National-Park.dx6351337) - [Car rentals near Franz Josef Glacier ](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Franz-Josef-Glacier.d6110682.Car-Rental-Guide) - [Car rentals near Roberts Point ](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Roberts-Point.d553248621526966908.Car-Rental-Guide) - [Things to do in Whataroa ](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Whataroa.d3000400422.Travel-Guide-Activities) - [Book Hotels in Franz Josef Glacier on Expedia.co.nz ](https://www.expedia.co.nz/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels.d10398.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels and earn double points when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
