We were very pleased with Glenfern Villas. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with a great covered parking area. This came in very handy since it was pouring rain. The staff was excellent and provided advice when our route was closed due to flooding.

Very nice property. Sheep were on the property, which you could pet and feed. The villa was nice. We had a two bedroom. One queen bed and two twin beds for our kids. One full bathroom, another would have been nice, but the one worked well. It was very close to the downtown area, about one KM. there are several good restaurants and all the companies running excursions. Would have me problem recommending.

I wish we had more time in Franz Josef! Our 1 night stay was wonderful. The villa was extremely clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. There was complementary laundry soap provided and we were able to use the coin operated washer and dryer. The owner (I think she was the owner) was very friendly and gave us great tips about the area. It’s a quick 3 minute drive into town where there are restaurants, shops, cafes and a little grocery store. Best of all was the welcome party - her sweet dog!
