The Te Awa cottages were the perfect comfortable and homey space for our time in Franz Josef. The cottage was clean and stocked with all the necessary amenities, including cooking tools and tips for local places to eat and things to do. The space was very clean, easy to heat up and cool down as necessary and boasted incredible views of the mountains and glaciers (and some friendly livestock!) Just a quick 5 minute drive or 25 minute walk to the town, we loved our stay at the Te Awa cottages and will definitely stay there again when we return to Franz Josef in the future.
