I wasn't expecting much and I can't express how much we loved staying here. The check-in was so smooth and the front reception staff were fantastic. We had a cute little cottage that had a double and a single bed; a small kitchen and table and chairs. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and allowed us to prepare our own breakfast. The room and bathroom were really clean. The shower had good water pressure. Location was amazing - steps..., by Anonymous traveller, January 9, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent ### [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) ![A modern house with a wooden deck, large windows, and a view of the surrounding forest.](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/8000000/7090000/7088200/7088168/a5b0ce06.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) - Address: 46 Cron Street, Franz Josef Glacier, 7886, NZ - Location: Franz Josef Glacier - Star rating: 4/5 - Guest rating: 8.8/10 (977 reviews) - Review: The room was exactly what I was looking for.
