What an incredible place to stay! The chalet was beautifully crafted and very cozy. We had a wonderful night stay in our very own chalet with private deck. We were able to cook our own meal and even sat outside enjoying the night sky and listening for (what we think might have been) kiwis. Very close to town, so it’s easy to pop in for a breakfast or for supplies, but also wonderfully quiet. We definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Franz Joseph!
