We stayed in a 2 bedroom delux treehouse that included our own hot tub. The full kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The property even included a laundromat. It’s conveniently located within walking distance to multiple restaurants and activities.

in the rainforest

Good option for Franz Josef Glacier. Large complex, we stayed in one of the "treehouse" units. Nice but small. Older folks with large suitcases avoid these, the steps are wet in the rain and steep. Bathroom had heated floors, always a treat. Restaurant was nothing fancy but ok.

Very peaceful stay during the winter season, was such a beautiful stay amongst the trees. We both wished we could stay longer. We loved how there is a restaurant on site as well and close to the local hot tubs.
