Close to the glacier. ##### Annabel Stayed 3 nights in Aug 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol Mar 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Loved this place! Big enough for our family of 5\. Kitchen area was super well stocked. They had games and videos to borrow - Yahtzee! Enjoyed the things to do in the area. ##### Carol Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah Nov 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication We were very pleased with Glenfern Villas. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with a great covered parking area. This came in very handy since it was pouring rain. The staff was excellent and provided advice when our route was closed due to flooding. ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erine Apr 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Immaculate 2 bedrooms villa, beautiful mountain view and plenty of space for a family of 4\. They offered free DVDs, very clean coin operated laundry room. Plenty of coffee, tea selection and generous milk provided. Highly recommend to stay at 5 stars Glenfern villa. ##### Erine Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia Feb 18, 2024 Very nice one bedroom villa. Full kitchen with everything you need. Nice staff. Very quiet. Short drive into FJ.

Our 1 night stay was wonderful. The villa was extremely clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. There was complementary laundry soap provided and we were able to use the coin operated washer and dryer. The owner (I think she was the owner) was very friendly and gave us great tips about the area. It’s a quick 3 minute drive into town where there are restaurants, shops, cafes and a little grocery store. Best of all was the welcome party - her sweet dog! ##### Taylor Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SETH Nov 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Very nice property. Sheep were on the property, which you could pet and feed. The villa was nice. We had a two bedroom. One queen bed and two twin beds for our kids. One full bathroom, another would have been nice, but the one worked well. It was very close to the downtown area, about one KM. there are several good restaurants and all the companies running excursions. Would have me problem recommending. ##### SETH Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian Oct 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication A nice roomy villa with ample space for the 2 of us, the town was a 5 minute drive away. Laundry seemed more expensive than others on our travels ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tasman Holiday Parks – Beachaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Beach-Hotels-Beachaven-Top-10-Holiday-Park.h9624344.Hotel-Information) > > [Maruia Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewis-Pass-Hotels-Maruia-Hot-Springs.h17262379.Hotel-Information) > > [Somersal Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Somersal-Bed-Breakfast.h4528347.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Rivers Boutique Lodge Ohakune](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Two-Rivers-Ohakune.h109320695.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohakune TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ohakune-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h33230446.Hotel-Information) > > [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > > [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeview Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Lakeview-Cottage.h37916190.Hotel-Information) > > [Stopforths Premium Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Hokitika-Hotels-Stopforths-Premium-Accommodation.h23236034.Hotel-Information) > > [Dusky Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Dusky-Lodge.h13271116.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Aqua-Lodge.h51669090.Hotel-Information) > > [Duvauchelle Seaside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Duvauchelle-Hotels-Duvauchelle-Seaside-Motel.h20930343.Hotel-Information) > > [Prodigal Daughter Gourmet Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Martinborough-Hotels-Prodigal-Daughter-Gourmet-Lodge.h39405385.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Lodge Okataina](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Okataina-Hotels-Lakes-Lodge-Okataina.h88669411.Hotel-Information) > > [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Mt-Cook-View-Motel.h7275200.Hotel-Information) > > [Sundowner Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Greymouth-Hotels-Sundowner-Motel.h19166307.Hotel-Information) > > [Acacia Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mangonui-Hotels-Acacia-Lodge-Motel.h2600471.Hotel-Information) > > [Ruapehu Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ruapehu-Country-Lodge.h9625899.Hotel-Information) > > [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > > [Avon Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawera-Hotels-Avon-Motel.h9629592.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Pub](https://www.expedia.ca/Methven-Hotels-The-Blue-Pub.h9628177.Hotel-Information) > > [Horse and Jockey Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Horse-And-Jockey-Inn.h29357900.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kaka Point Motels](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaka-Point-Hotels-The-Kaka-Point-Motels.h9679525.Hotel-Information) > > [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > > [Mohaka River Farm - Campsite](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Haroto-Hotels-Mohaka-River-Farm.h44895522.Hotel-Information)
