The Te Awa Cottages were awesome. It's so well located to Franz Josef. It rained buckets while we were there and the sound of the rain hitting the roof just lulled us to sleep. On a clear day, the view must be amazing. We had a wonderful stay -- impeccably clean, well styled and extremely comfortable bed. Would definitely stay again the next time we pass through Franz Josef (hopefully our helihike won't be cancelled next time!). Thanks!
