Handy to walk anywhere in town.

We stayed at the aspen court motel during a whistle stop tour of the west coast. I wish we had had time to stay here for longer. This motel was by far the best we have stayed in. Extremely clean, very comfortable and had a luxurious feel to it. Ours was very quiet and we instantly felt relaxed.

We stayed at Punga Grove for 2 nights. The room was very comfortable with good self catering facilities and a nice outlook onto a small secluded patio shaded by plants. Unfortunately however our enjoyment was curtailed when the tail end of Cyclone Fehi hit Franz Josef on our first night, resulting in loss of power and cellphone signal to the whole village. The power remained off for the rest of our stay. The hotel staff were excellent in making sure that we were ok, providing a camping stove for...

Superb place to stay. Staff exceptionally helpful and accommodation one of the best that we've had in three weeks of travelling. Franz Josef is a lovely town in its own right, with the glacier experience an amazing extra. We loved this place.

Great place to stay for an outdoor holday but pack your waterproof .
The drive from Christchurch is quite an arduous five hours on mountain roads but it is worth the effort
