Stay here
It was great- the owners are lovely and incredibly accommodating and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The location was excellent for access to Franz Josef activities and restaurants. It’s a five minute walk to the town center, if that. Highly recommend a stay here.

Good choice in FJ
Nice place to stay. Kitchen is well-equipped but a little bit small (but still suitable to cook a simple dinner). Premise is nice, owners are very nice as well.

We had a great stay here. The rooms were very clean and comfortable.
The highlight of the stay were the managers, Graham and Sheryl, who told us about a partial road closure and helped us plan our trip south. They also suggested which walks to do around the area, and gave us tips about dining in town.
Highly recommend a stay here.
