The location is conveniently close to "town" but better than being in the town because of the beautiful, calm surroundings. The room was spacious and comfortable and pretty (seemed new). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent but could have had more variety.
Glow Worm Accommodation is located in the center of Franz Josef and offers a range of shared dormitory rooms and private en suite rooms. Free unlimited WiFi is included.

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!

Lots of walking trails towards the glacier but sadly we were not able to do any walking as it was raining hard and steady during our stay.
Enjoyed a delicious meal at “Alice May” restaurant only 5-10 minute walk from hotel.

Great area for outdoor activities with plenty to do and experience. We did several local DOC walks (i.e., Tatare Falls and Callery Gorge) and undertook an amazing helicopter flight with Glacier Country Helicopters - Pilot’s Choice (35 minutes duration). The Landing was a great place to dine.

Chateau Backpackers had a lovely atmosphere, it helped that you could see the Glacier from there, when not misty, but that they have free veg soup at 6 pm and that encouraged people to mix and chat, also free breakfast, which included pancake or waffle mix to cook, cereals and toast. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
The room was spacious and had a gorgeous little patio surrounded by greenery. The hotel staff were very friendly and happy to guide us on the local spots to eat/drink and all of the different glacier walks. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of blankets to keep us warm during the cold night.
We had a scenic view of the glacier from the room and balcony. The design of the hotel is interesting and modern, completely integrated into nature. The parking facility is good and the location is right where everything happens, within walking distance.
