Surrounded by native forest, fauna and mountain views, it’s a cosy, private retreat perfect for couples, friends, or small families. Fully equipped with a kitchen, heating, and comfy living space.

Welcome to your cosy escape in the heart of Franz Josef, Glacier Country. This charming two-bedroom home sits beside a peaceful wetland area, where native birds and lush vegetation create a tranquil natural backdrop. Surrounded by rainforest and with stunning views of the snowy, Southern Alps, it’s the perfect base for a relaxed West Coast getaway.

Inside, the house is warm and welcoming, with a fireplace that adds a cosy touch on cooler days. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living space, and everything you need for a restful stay—ideal for couples, friends, or small families.

Outside, soak in the private outdoor bath under the stars, listen to frogs and birds calling from the nearby swamp, or gather around the fire pit with a glass of wine. Whether you’re here to explore glacier walks, unwind in the Waiho hot tubs, or simply enjoy the stillness of nature, this is a peaceful and unforgettable place to stay.

Just minutes from Franz Josef village, yet tucked away enough to feel like your own private retreat, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and West Coast charm.

I am available 24/7 either through the Air BnB app or via phone.
