Wonderful staff! Our unit though was a little close to the road and wish we were facing mountains instead. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Feb 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Spacious modern units well equipped and super friendly and helpful staff. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia May 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Absolutely gorgeous setting with a view of the glacier. Villa was comfortable (except for the lack of bedside lamps) with a nice kitchen and good beds. Loved that they had free DVDs available (which we took advantage of thanks to a very rainy afternoon and evening) and laundry facilities. The town of Franz Joseph Glacier was cute but food options weren't great - I'd suggest cooking in. Glad we had 2 nights here! ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole Jan 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We had a quick one night stopover at Franz Josef. The staff we very friendly and the property was adequate. ##### Nicole ### 10/10 Excellent #### TITUS Nov 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Very very quiet Clean and neat Views are unbelievable ##### TITUS Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrienne Nov 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication What an excellent place to stay - home away from home.

Highly, highly recommended ##### Adrienne Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven Mar 15, 2023 Nice size chalet, not far out of town ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra Nov 18, 2023 Disliked: Amenities Property was in a great location just outside of Franz Josef. Villa was clean and well equipped and staff were friendly ##### Sandra Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria Dec 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication My only regret was not booking more than one night here. It was a great property with comfortable amenities and so much green space for the kids to run around and play in. They also loved the sheep and cows on the property. The staff was super friendly and helpful too. ##### Victoria Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d117-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Calgary Tower](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Tower-Hotels.0-l6072179-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Casa Colonial Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Casa-Colonial-Beach-Spa.h1369676.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Milan Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Centre-Milan-Hotels.0-n6049534-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Wynn Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Wynn-Las-Vegas.h1184243.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Wall Centre, Vancouver Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-The-Westin-Wall-Centre.h2899945.Hotel-Information) > > [Hostels Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hostels.d178307-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Barceló Bávaro Beach - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Barcelo-Bavaro-Beach-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h852099.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Dartmouth-Hotels.d7560.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Terrebonne](https://www.expedia.ca/Terrebonne-Hotels.d60099.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Chateau Laurier](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Laurier.h3283.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Arenal Volcano National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Volcano-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6101087-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Arbutus Grove Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Parksville-Hotels-Arbutus-Grove-Motel.h74756864.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air New Zealand Vancouver (YVR) to Auckland (AKL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-new-zealand-from-vancouver-intl-to-auckland-intl/nz/yvr/akl) > > [flights from charlottetown airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yyg/flights-from-charlottetown-airport) > > [WestJet](https://www.expedia.ca/WestJet-Flights.cWS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/sfo/los-angeles-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/cun/kitchener-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/sea/montreal-to-seattle) > > [Singapore Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Singapore-Airlines-Flights.cSQ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic) > > [romantic vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/romantic-vacations) > > [Niagara Falls Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls.d6023515.Destination-Travel-Guides)
