Staff was really friendly and helpful! Very close to town, as it is not a big town and if you don't mind sharing a room, perfect!

About YHA Franz Josef

Kia Ora,

YHA Member receive a 10% discount on prices shown

Perfectly located amidst the tranquil green rainforest surroundings of Westland Tai Poutini National Park and World Heritage area yet only a short stroll to the heart of the village with its cafes, pubs and shopping.

Action and adventure are just around the corner with ice climbing, heli-hiking, kayaking, kiwi tours, glacier exploration, glow worm tracks, eco-tours, ski planes and skydiving all nearby.

After a day of exploration chill out and warm up in our free sauna or in front of the cosy fireplace in the large lounge. Great meals can be prepared in the spacious, well equipped kitchen or on the sunny patio area barbecue.

Entertainment options include a separate TV lounge with free videos and SKY TV, library exchange, internet terminals, a variety of games and puzzles and a pool table.

Our ultra-clean, bright and modern accommodations range from the economical 10 bed dorm to deluxe ensuite private rooms. Family, twin and single rooms are also available.

Guests have 24 hour access to the hostel. Reception is open until 8 PM during the winter, and 9 PM during the summer.

Flowing almost to sea level into the dense rainforests of Westland National Park, the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers are some of the most accessible in the world. Spend a day exploring with an experienced guide or take a helicopter flight with breathtaking views of the glaciers.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

One of the newest purpose-built YHAs in New Zealand, this hostel might be one of the nicest I've ever stayed at. The kitchen/dining/lounge area is huge and feels very welcoming, the rooms are great, and all the facilities are top-knotch. I specifically have to praise the building itself, which feels very "organic", rather than being just a boring block.
