Legacy Te Waonui Franz Josef
Forest calm, glacier magic
Walk into Legacy Te Waonui Franz Josef, and you instantly feel wrapped in that West Coast tranquillity.
This refined hotel is considered one of the best in the area, blending natural textures, warm lighting, and contemporary comfort to create a peaceful hideaway that feels worlds away from everyday noise. Located in the heart of Franz Josef village, the hotel sits right at the edge of native rainforest, only minutes from walking tracks, hot pools, cafés, and guided glacier experiences. It’s the kind of place where you can step outside without ever losing the sense that you are staying in the wilderness.
