Loved the coffee ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanna Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wild Kea Lodge was perfect for our 2 night stay in Franz Josef. Our comfort room was a good base for exploring the area. The communal kitchen and dining area was really handy. The lodge is in the centre of the township so really convenient for amenities. ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynette Feb 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The proprieters were friendly welcoming & helpful Nice touches like a welcome muffin on arrival, free popcorn on tap & a great coffee machine! ##### Lynette Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brett Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good times in Franz Josef.
