"Very much enjoyed our stay here. The room was fabulous with a great view of the countryside. The faux fireplace was a nice touch in the room. It’s a bit outside the township however a couple of restaurants offer a pick up and drop off courtesy bus. Wayne at reception was very helpful with information about the surrounding area. Would stay again!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Waiho?
The best area to stay in Waiho is Franz Josef Village, as it's the primary settlement and gateway to the Franz Josef Glacier.Franz Josef Village is a compact, walkable settlement situated just a few kilometres from the Franz Josef Glacier car park. The main street, State Highway 6, runs through the centre, lined with hotels, restaurants, and tour operators. It's designed for convenience, allowing easy access to all necessary facilities and activities related to glacier exploration.Couples looking for a memorable and adventure-filled trip will find Franz Josef Village ideal. Most glacier tours, heli-hikes, and scenic flights depart directly from here, making early morning starts incredibly straightforward. After a day of exploring, there are several good restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance for a relaxed evening.For families, the village offers a practical base. Many accommodations provide family-friendly room configurations, and the proximity to the West Coast Wildlife Centre, where you can see kiwi and tuatara, provides an engaging activity for all ages.
When is the best time to go to Waiho?
The best time to visit Waiho, particularly for enjoying its natural beauty, is during the drier months of late spring, summer, and early autumn, specifically from October to April.During these months, you'll experience longer daylight hours and generally more settled weather, which is ideal for exploring the Franz Josef Glacier and the surrounding walking tracks. The warmer temperatures make activities like helicopter tours, guided glacier hikes, and visits to the West Coast Wildlife Centre more comfortable and enjoyable.Couples looking for an active and scenic retreat will find this period particularly appealing. You can embark on a guided trek across the glacier, take a scenic flight over the Southern Alps, or simply relax and enjoy the stunning views of the rainforest and mountains.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
