Eco Tours

A short drive 30 minutes south takes you to Franz Josef – a more populated environment at the base of the Franz Josef Glacier, where you can access food and gift shops, restaurants, hot pools and other opportunities to experience the natural environment – helicopter rides to the glacier, biking, walking and swimming and boating on the West Coast’s largest glacial lakes – Lake Mapourika.

These cabins are superb. They are cleverly designed and appointed with everything you need. The native plantings provide privacy without obstructing the view. The shared kitchen-dining area allows for convivial interaction with others. And with sea, lagoon, mountains, bush and beach all on your doorstep, I can't think of a more perfect NZ location.
