Planning an escape to the West Coast, then the Glenfern Villas situated just outside Franz Josef village is the perfect place from which to explore the tranquility and beauty of the Westland National Park.
Whether traveling as a couple, a family or with a group of friends the Glenfern Villas offer luxurious one or two bedroom villas to suit the most discerning traveler. Our party found the villas, all of which are luxuriously appointed with fully equipped kitchens the ideal place to base ourselves.
Some of us took time to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the wild West Coast, others indulged in more energetic activities including Heli Hiking over the world famous Franz Josef Glacier, jet boating, hunting or fishing. Tartare Peaks, their on-site animal park is a place to interact with horses, alpaca's, goats, kunekune pigs, chickens and ducks - great family fun.
Our decision to stop for a few days proved to be very rewarding and we appreciated the great help our knowledgeable hosts at Glenfern Villas offered to make the most of our stay. At the end of a day's exploring we had the choice of self catering, relaxing with a drink outdoors watching the sun go down and star gazing or heading into the village to the numerous cafes and bars to experience the famed West Coast hospitality. Glenfern Villas, the perfect home away from home.
