Takoha and Simon are a delightful young couple who run a well organised and friendly B&B in a quiet little nook that is still walking distance from the shops in Franz Josef. We spent a comfortable 4 days with them and appreciated their flexibility and helpfulness. We recommend staying at least that long to explore the area. As well as the glacier there are great hikes and we loved the nearby village of Okarito with lagoon and beach, photgraphy gallery and night time kiwi tracking tour and also the alpine fault line tour based out of nearby Whataroa is amazing. Plenty more we didn't get round to - this time....
