This is my favorite hotel during this New Zealand trip. Room is spacious, has a private balcony facing lush green plants. The canopy restaurant provides breakfast buffet and 5 course dinner. We definitely will stay there again.

Enjoyable and relaxing stay in this large but quiet resort. Staff very friendly and meals nice. Day spa had good services and not as pricey as some hotels. Easy walk to the township.

The dinners weren't great - for example rock hard cheese and some inedible dishes, the staff at the food hall's customer service was inconsistent. No gym, pool or fitness centre. Plus the spa was full booked with a massive waiting list. Bit odd as it was a 3 star place at best. Some nice people on main reception but there are some real challenges in this hotel.

Beautiful forrest retreat. Rooms include a five course dinner and breakfast that were both very nice. Only issue was the boil water notice and lack of bottled water in the room.

Magically getaway in Franz Josef
The rainforest retreat was very special and beautifully presented. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The hot towel and kiwi juice in arrival after a long drive was heavenly. The rooms look over the rainforest and feel secluded. Rooms are quiet, big and clean. Bathroom was spotless with great shower and separate bath. We were lucky enough to have the 5 course dinner and was not disappointed…highly recommend. The buffet brekkie was great too with lots of different options.
