Franz Josef Villa, Stunning Mountain\/Lake Views
About this house rental
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);

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.

The property was top quality. Dealing with Bookabach is frustrating as communication is limited

A high end home that could be further enhanced by replacing dud light bulbs, supplying matches for the fire and a coffee table for the spacious lounge.

Lovely house in a quiet area in Franz Josef. Very comfortable. It would have been good to have a coffee plunger, colander a few larger bowls for salads, etc. Apart from that, lovely place and great communication with the owner. Would recommend.

Lovely location and house. Very roomy and with a beautiful aspect from the deck area. Highly recommend for a stay outside of the main township.

Franz Josef Villa was the best house on the Westcoast we have stayed in so far. It had everything we wanted and was super warm! The layout of the house is great and very modern! It was a home away from home for us. The views and landscape around the house is Amazing! It is so quiet so therefore we had a great sleep! We will definitely stay there again! It was a treasured find! Thank you! Franz Josef Villa is very highly recommended by our family!

We loved our stay in Franz Josef. This home is well appointed and very comfortable. The kitchen/family area is perfectly arranged and allowed us to all be in the same area of the home without being on top of each other. We had a fantastic stay and our only recommendation would be to add some outdoor furniture so that we could enjoy the beautiful backyard/patio and lake views more.

Easy access to Town, open and warm place.
