The town is very small. Apart from the self-driving motel, there is a luxury rainforest hotel and youth hostel haka. This haka is newly opened. In addition to the bed room, there are also ordinary rooms with bathrooms. It is generally new and the facilities are basic but sufficient. The kitchen and common lounge are quite large. It is orderly and clean even when full.
Recommended to stay overnight in the town.
Facilities: Complete, there is also a sauna room
Hygiene: basically new and clean
Environment: Surrounded by rainforest environment, not far from the main National Highway 6, convenient for viewing glaciers and hiking
Service: It is basic, no service is needed

Everything is good except for the shower. It doesn't work at all. The water flows like a foam. I can't wash my hair. Other than that, it's good. There's a kitchen as well. Close to the helicopter that will take you up. Very good.

A beautiful area just outside of Franz Josef. It's nearby the road, so you may get some traffic noise. Other than that, it was a quiet and restful night there. We could see the milky way at night!
We had a studio, so no kitchen but a microwave was available. There's a laundry as well. Wifi was good.
The manager was very friendly and allowed us to fill out campervan with water.

Overall it was a particularly good choice near the fox glacier, and all the rooms were fully booked on the day. The cabin is equipped with the kitchen utensils needed, but there is no dishwasher. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a bathroom, which is used in line, but overall it is the best choice.
