All the 3 rooms got a double bed and a single bed! The bathroom is extremely big but we have to share among 6 people! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jenny Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Room comfort, communication #### Not suitable for nine guests Within easy walking distance of town. Beds were comfortable and heaters in the house worked well but the bathroom was not heated and was very cold. Living area/kitchen cramped and settees very uncomfortable. House would be better with bathroom divided into two shower rooms/toilets and only two bedrooms with third bedroom made into additional living space. ##### Jenny Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Friends road trip We had friends visiting from Aussie so were doing a south island road trip. A great stay at this property at Franz Josef. Cute cabin style, warm and quiet. Could sleep 9 so is a good option for families and groups. Waiho hot tubs just around the corner, these were a highlight. Great communication with property owner. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Manuela Nov 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The bedrooms had good beds, nicely made up - but there were no storage spaces/cupboards. The lounge/dining/kitchen area felt cramped & uncomfortable. The hot water in the kitchen did not work, but we were expected to do our own dishes, otherwise we would have been charged $25 extra. Parking & getting out of the property was difficult due the large bolders framing the drive rather tightly. We would not stay there again. Also: Considering the above, the place is definitely not worth its nightly price. ##### Manuela Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Fabulous accommodation.
