Great place to stay if you want to explore franz Joesph glacier and the surrounding area. With the added bonus that the family who own the air B and B have their own helicopter business! We stayed for 2 nights to increase our chances of being able to do the helicopter flight in case of bad weather and we were super lucky we did as we couldn’t fly until the morning of a last day there. The flight was amazing and we were kept up to date as to when was a good time to do it.
The air B and B itself is ideal, good amount of room and good supply of kitchenware to cook with (the nearest restaurants are 20mins drive away). All in all we had a great stay and the helicopter ride is a highlight of our trip to NZ!
