We chose it because it can accomodate 5 of us. 5 months ago when I chose the villa in google map, it indicated it as right in the town, but it is another 5 km away. The location is secluded and quiet. The units are all individual villa, own free parking right at the door step. Downstairs spacious living, kitchen,... more

We recently stopped here for 1 night to visit the glaciers on our way through to Wanaka. We really enjoyed our stay. Our villa was modern, clean and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen and nice big walk in shower. While the bedroom was relatively small with just the basics, this was compensated for by the rest of the apartment... more

This place is just on the state highway on the Greymouth side of Franz Josep, about 3km outside the town. It is adjacent to the road so you do get road noise, but the road, typical of New Zealand is not that busy. It didn't cause a problem or keep us awake at night. There is a property about 150... more

Stayed for just one night in a one bedroom villa. The place was actually better that we'd expected - the bathroom and bedroom were really good, bathroom especially was modern and quite spacious. The living room was pretty good although a bit more Travelodge-like (UK budget hotel chain). I wouldn't agree with the website's claim that it's luxury accommodation (... more

7 friends stayed for 2 nights in 2 villas......Very clean and comfortable however found it a bit out of the way especially going out for dinner. Also get them to check your room before you depart, when we arrived back in Australia we noticed they had taken an extra $30 off our credit card claiming we had taken their products.... more

Glenfern Villas provide clean, well appointed family self contained accommodation. Not particularly luxurious but nicely set out out and without pretence. The barbeque was a bit of an issue - there is only one shared between the villas. When we asked as to its location, we were directed to the villa that had it last. We eventually found it though.... more

We had a warm welcome, the unit was very clean and comfortable, with a great bed and excellent bathroom. It was well supplied with everything you'd need for self catering. It was well heated. The grounds are pleasantly landscaped. The villas are situated in the country, a few kilometres north of Franz Josef township, and we'd booked a stay there... more

Exceptional service given the misfortune of having missed our bus leaving town (once a day). We were ready, but waiting in our villa as it was raining. When the bus didn't see anyone at the office, it left! Unnecessary but very appreciated kindness by the owners: immediately taking us into town to chase the bus so that we could stay... more

Our main reason for staying in Franz Josef was of course the glacier hike so we just needed somewhere comfortable to spend a night. We arrived at glenfern villas which is about 5 mins drive from the main town and found a very friendly reception. Our one bedroom villa was fantastic and spacious with lounge/kitchen, seperate double bedroom and large... more
