Quiet, peaceful, comfortable stay.

The hotel was very comfortable and clean and very close to the town while providing a quiet respite from the busier touristy area. The manager who greeted us was warm, welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was basic but sufficient.

The perfect place to stay in Franz-Josef! It's far enough away from the heliport that you aren't constantly disturbed by the noise, but still close enough to town that you can easily get to everything important quickly. Audrey was super friendly and pointed out all the best food spots and other helpful locations. The breakfast was perfect for a quick start before the day's adventures and the room was very spacious and comfortable.

We had a lovely stay at the Westwood Lodge on the 22nd - 24th December. The lodge was huge, spotless, and very cosy with the log timber walls, very alpine! We were greeted by a super friendly hostess who was warm and welcoming and gave brilliant recommendations. We were also pleasantly surprised by the complimentary breakfast we received which was delicious!! Hot fresh eggs and all the usual continental sides and additions. The breakfast team also provided really wonderful service. The hotel was located on beautiful grounds with sweeping Mountain View’s and the common room with a fire place and an impressive snooker table was a great addition. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and merry Christmas!

Pretty dark room. A desk with no light around. A sofa with no light...in fact only two ceiling spotlights in wrong direction. TV was very small in big room...like PC monitor. Bathroom was, however, spacious. Lodge for breakfast was very nice. Breakfast itself was skimpy. Staff was friendly and supportive. Safe 20 min walk to village.

A little more expensive but worth it

Fantastic host, very friendly and gave us great suggestions of where to go and where to eat. Accomodation slightly out of town but peaceful. Huge bedroom. Breakfast was delicious. Only thing i think could be improved was the tv only had 4 channels and two of those were sport but there were dvds (although very old titles) that could be borrowed from the lounge. Would definitely stay here again.

Location was convenient. Nice communal sitting area with fire and snooker table and selection of dvds you could borrow. We had a large suite, it was quiet if a little dated with drafty windows and it needed a new mattress as was very soft and roll together! Breakfast was included with modest buffet selection of food plus choice of cooked egg.

The property is a outdoorsy lodge style with log walls and a nice fireplace always running in the main lodge. The rooms were relatively large, each with a patio and balcony and a private sliding glass door. I stayed in the main lodge, which was nice, but there are also cabins. The staff was attentive, breakfast was good ( a full English breakfast with all the trimmings), as well as fruit, juices, yogurt and pastries. The hotel is about 2 km from the main village. I'd stay there again, I was there for 2 nights.

Great lodge. Poor breakfast

This is not a traditional NZ B&B. This is run by an Asian family who were charming - when you saw them. Great room, bath and location. The breakfast was poor. Most of it out of a packet. Cheap yoghurt, pre sliced bread. Only thing freshly cooked were eggs, that just appeared on a white plate on their own so widely unappealing in terms of presentation. . Help yourself to anything else you want. Reminded you of a US Holiday Inn budget or UK Travelodge. Cereal all had sulphates. If this is your first stop, it does not reflect NZ B&Bs. We had been offered delicious homemade sourdough, organic cereal, freshly made breakfast to order before this. Tables were not layed and you were expected to clear your own plate as if in a MacDonald’s. Let themselves down over breakfast as the location is amazing.

One night stopover, nice room just a bit soleless

Stayed at the Lodge for one night as doing a heli hike next morning . The room was large, comfortable with a good sized bathroom and the best bit - a rolled top bath. There was a good selection of toiletries. We saw a lady on arrival who give us access to our room but saw no other staff about until we left the next morning. The TV was not working on arrival, found the aerial was not connected, after connecting there still were not any channels ??? The lodge did have some DVD’s on site so watched one of those instead The hotel is a short drive from the town and it’s attractions, unfortunately the breakfast didn’t start until 7am and we had to leave early. There was no one on site to get it early for us, so we had to make breakfast in our room - there was some crockery but only 1 bowl and spoon . We are travelling all over New Zealand and found the lodge to be the most expensive stay with the least service unfortunately which was a shame as a nice place.
