Really good breakfast, Large room. Nice bathroom. Over-priced (Like all of Franz Joseph). Good bed, nice fire in reception area. Nice touch with the cookies. Please note that the score is in comparison to 14 other hotels/B&Bs we stayed in during a 3 week trip to NZ more

We stayed here for 2 nights while in Franz Josef. The place does not like much from the outside, but is a real treat inside. the Lodge looks like a log cabin. We really appreciated the wooden design. The rooms have all modern amenities, and a very comfortable bathroom. the Lodge is located less than a 10 min walk from... more

We stayed in Westwood Lodge for one night during the winter season. Despite the terrific location near to Franz Josef, there were some inconsistencies during our brief stay. Our room was of a good size and was generally well appointed, but the bathroom heating system was switched off upon our arrival, with in-room instructions confirming that the system was controlled... more

All the exposed wood was wonderful. We had a room in the building out front with a patio with a view of the glacier (photo included). The room was huge and the breakfasts great. Our hostess helped us get organized and plan our 2 days -- which meant we were out and about and not taking advantage of the amenities... more

Stayed at the Westwood Lodge in Dec 08 when we were in NZ for our honeymoon. We had a wonderful stay at the lodge. Kaz (the owner) was very helpful and booked the helicopter ride and the quad-biking for us. The rooms and the main guest lounge were very comfortable and superbly furnished. If the weather is good you can... more

We had in our mind that this would be a luxury retreat in Glacier country and would be the perfect treat for a romantic weekend. We were terribly dissapointed, the image portrayed on the website detracted from the reality that this is really a road side motel, the price 345 NZD suggests that this may be in line with excellent... more
