About this property

Franz Josef Villa, Stunning Mountain/Lake Views

Come stay in our bright and spacious modern home located just 5 minutes from the town of Franz Josef in the heart of glacier country!

Take in the impeccable glacier country mountains and views of Lake Mapourika while lounging on the large deck or open the sliding doors and enjoy from the comfort of inside. This is a perfect 3 bedroom home away from home for family and friends.

To fully experience Glacier Country, you need to immerse yourself in the landscape. It is not until you make footprints on a high alpine snow field, journey deep into the towering rainforests, explore the blue ice caves of the glaciers, tackle a trout on a beautiful lake, jetboat up a glacial river, or contemplate the mountain reflections in Lake Matheson that you will truly encounter our wilderness.

Choose from Glacier Country adventures, including guided glacier walks, kayaking, kiwi encounters, quad biking, clay target shooting, off-road buggies, tandem skydiving and white-water rafting. There is also a range of scenic flights (helicopter or fixed wing, with or without snow landings), horse treks, hot pools, boat trips, kayaking and more. The diverse range of activities in and around Franz Josef is available all year round.

Make our beautiful home yours for your next holiday!

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$40.00 per night); Linen (included);

Peaceful and comfortable
Property located a little bit out of town in a quiet area. Very spacious home with large bedrooms and living areas. Very comfortable beds. Nice fully equipped kitchen. Lounge furniture was comfortable, lacking a coffee table. TV had a shadowy screen fault which impacted viewing and would need to be rectified. Large stain on carpet in entry hallway wasn’t a very welcoming sight. Garage not available for parking as it contains laundry, hanging space for towels/linen and owners equipment storage. Overall enjoyed our stay in this spacious and comfortable home, recommended.

Beautiful stay in Franz Josef!
This place was perfect - nice mountain escape while still very close to town. Lots of communal living space along with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms.
