Gorgeous accommodations with an incredible view and convenient, walkable location. I loved everything about this stay (except that it wasn't long enough). The amenities were well-appointed, the bed super comfortable, and the staff were friendly and efficient.

We got an upgrade to one of the tree house which was fabulous! The room was spacious and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The hot tub in the balcony was an absolute treat! Would defo go back if we can!

The gardens were beautiful and the shower with its big rainfall head and hand held option in grey stone large area was fabulous. The upgrade to a brand new room was also appreciated. The shared kitchen is very well equipped , clean with nice crockery and has a good vibe with it being a friendly hub involving people from all around the world and of all ages gathered to prepare a variety of cuisines. The restaurant on site is also a plus. The hot tub and sauna were also a bonus. Its location is grand too.

This was a lovely novel stay in a deluxe tree hut, ideal having parking directly underneath the hut. The WiFi was really fast and the location to the town was really convenient, would highly recommend if staying one or two nights passing through the west coast (it’s too small for more than this). Only main issue was the skirting boards and cupboard handles were full of dust and filth which seemed odd as everywhere else in the room was clean.

10/5 this place is amazing! We were upgraded to a tree house lodge and it was nesteled among native plants and you could hear all the native birds around, truly felt like you were in the rainforest. Staff was kind and accommodating, they left a package for late night check-in for us outside the reception. Our room was fantastic , bed was cozy, views were incredible and there was an espresso machine in the room! We even popped into the hot tub for a bit which felt amazing. Close to town very walkable. Will definitely come back

Beautiful place to stay. The Gecko Cottages were amazing and a real treat on our road trip. The spa was a nice touch too. Bit hard to walk around at night though due to no security- which made going to the onsite bar late by myself a no-go (i did ring and ask). I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The room was clean and comfortable. Clise to everything Franz Josef has to offer but feels secluded. So peaceful! The hot tub in the gecko village was a great way to unwind after a tasty meal in the restaurant and a day of hiking

This was really just an enforced stop off for us but loved it. Fabulous scenery immediately outside your door. Great food & drink options in Franz Josef too. Accommodation had everything needed and a really comfy bed & pillows. Parking was simple onsite. Check-in efficient. Was just a very pleasant stay, well priced, in a lovely place. Nothing not to like.. maybe lighting could be better.

We absolutely loved our tree house and our stay. It’s a beautiful location and the room was fabulous. Very little detail was incredible. Heated floors and towel rack in the bathroom. The shower! The view of the mountains. The hot tub on the deck. The beds were so comfortable. Fabulous place all around.
