Ryokans in Westland Tai Poutini National Park

"Absolutely top spot to stay in Franz Josef. Great property and great value for money. "

"Amazing views from our window of snow peaked mountains. Good size room. "

"Wonderful motel in Fix Glacier area. Staff very friendly and welcoming "

"We weren't expecting much from this lodge given the low price. But it hugely exceeded our expectations. On arrival at 7pm after a long drive, it was easy to find and park. The receptionist gave us a welcome that was so friendly and enthusiastic, it put most other hotels to shame. While the room was quite small and the bathroom shared (as we'd expected), it was nice and warm, giving us an instant boost on a cold night, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The location couldn't have been better, with a range of decent restaurants within a short walking distance. There was a large kitchen and common room area with free tea, coffee and popcorn, outside there was a hot tub you could use up till 10pm, and the atmosphere overall felt more like we were staying a high-end hotel than somewhere cheap, even though we'd paid just £28 for two people. I would heartily recommend this lodge."

"The location is outstanding. The scenery from the room was spectacular. Beautiful views. "

"Great basic cabin accommodation not far from Mt Cook village at a reasonable price. New and nicely equiped and warm"

"Laundry right outside our room"

"Had a wonderful time. When we were snowed in the hotel was very accomodating with a room for another night and made us feel very welcome. Would stay here again and recommend it to others also"

"Beautiful accommodation which was very convienient to the local shops and restaurants "
