The apartment was warm and very spacious with everything we needed. Friendly staff and very helpful on things to do in the area. The Villas are a short drive to the town. They suggested Fox Glacier which we did and so glad we did. The room looked back to the mountains and was a lovely sight early in the morning... More

From the moment we checked in we felt both welcome and relaxed. There was nothing that was too much trouble from free wi fi to being escorted and shown the room. Added extras of vouchers were another surprise. I do not write too many reviews but I found this place worthy of praised and somewhere you should definitely consider if... More

Great hosts. Could not do enough for you. Good advice when your traveling is handy and these guy's were spot on. Lotsa room to move. A little out of town but this is quiet and lovely part of the world. Would stay here again.

The villa was a one bedroom, living room, kitchen. You can park your car right outside your villa. The small garden with a coffee table outside each villa was very nice to relax with a glass of wine. The location is average; on the highway. 3-4 kms from the main franz josef city center. The place is extremely quite even... More

We stayed 1 night on Christmas Eve 2012 in a 2-Bedroom Villa. There was lots of space and the kids had fun sleeping in the loft. Kids also had fun with the few farm animals and climbing the tree on the grounds. We were able to savour a warm cuppa while enjoying the lovely view from the patio. The little... More
