The glacier is not reachable anymore.

The glacier is not reachable anymore. The area is roped off from a great distance away. A few years ago we walked right up to bottom of the glacier. The only way to see the glacier now is by helicopter at a great cost.

The glacier area is a wonderful place to visit.

The glacier area is a wonderful place to visit. The weather can be unpredictable so we recommend booking your activities for first thing in the morning, the weather tends to get worse throughout the day.

So much to see and do.

So much to see and do. I will ensure that we spend more time there on our next visit. Highlight was Scenic Helicopter trip to the Glacier flying with Ken from Heliservices. NZ. Make sure you finish off your day with a private soak at Waiho Hot Tubs.

Unfortunately it was raining at times and overcast so our helicopter flight to the glaciers was cancelled. We were given a full refund as the weather was out of our control. We could still do walks and the wildlife centre and movie of the western coast of NZ at the cinema were a highlight.

We dined at the Landing restaurant.

We dined at the Landing restaurant. Very good, busy and lively atmosphere, with friendly service, many tables were reserved. Big platefuls of great food, so bring your appetite. Easy parking in Franz, as would be expected. Especially after QT!! The walk to the glacier viewing platform from the car-park shouldn't be underestimated for anyone who is infirm or unfit. But it's worth it for the view when you get there. The west coast road is delightful to drive. But note that there was road clearing operations which literally closed the road north of Haast for a couple of hours! Take heed of any warning signs!

The location was awesome as it was walkable to Franz Josef Glacier and a 20 minute car ride from Fox Glacier. The bed, linens, and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was carb heavy (cereal, waffles, pancakes, toast + spread, and coffee/tea) which was perfect fuel for hiking. Big kitchen facilities with all the appliances and cooking equipment to make basic meals. Bathroom, bedrooms, and common areas were quite clean for a hostel. Nice to have individual outlets (including USB) and light for each bunk bed.

Haka House Franz Josef was a cozy and welcoming place to stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the shared kitchen was well-equipped and convenient for cooking. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect—close to the glacier and local trails. A great stopover for exploring the area.

Excellent location and we opened our curtains from our first floor room to the beautiful Franz Josef Glacier which was stunning. Room quite large, but without balcony. Comfortable room with enough space for a two night stay.
