Trailfinders' Abbi Harris gives an insight into Glenfern Villas, Franz Josef
Glenfern Villas, Franz Josef Expert Review
Abbi Harris
We had a lovely stay at Glenfern Villas. It is just a five minute drive from the town and what you gain from being outside of the town are wonderfully peaceful surroundings. On a clear day you can see the glacier from the property.
We stayed in a one bedroom villa which was simple but very comfortable and had everything we needed. After a long day of hiking it was great to have sofas to relax on and it had full cooking facilities so we cooked on one night and went out for dinner in town for our other night.
We made use of the laundry facilities which were great and just require a few coins for detergent and use of the driers.
I would highly recommend this property for those looking for a good value stay in Franz Josef.
Top tip: Do take a stroll around the property and go and meet the resident sheep. They are adorable and really friendly!
