Wild Kea Lodge Franz Josef offers a modern accommodation across three wings in the Franz Josef Glacier Village, just a10-minute drive from Franz Josef Glacier and 30-40 minutes for Fox Glacier.

- Weka Wing (Rooms 1-24) Comfortable with essential amenities. Great place to stay. I was really impressed with my room. Its one of those rooms where you have everything you need. Twin super comfy beds, a small fridge, a Kettle, Place to hang stuff, Fan, All the other essential stuff that makes your life so much easier and organised. It had a toilet and shower, a hair drier. And all these things aren't squeezed in as well, you still have enough space. It's the attention to detail that went in to the design that I was impressed with. Towels, Packets of Coffee, Tea etc. and a shower that has the force to punch a hole in the wall. Just perfect!

Guests can choose between ‘pod’ dormitory rooms or private rooms with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster and electric kettle. Most rooms also have a TV. The pods feature a privacy curtain, a power point and a USB port. We were expecting shared bathrooms but each had a private ensuite, which was great! Wonderful hostel vibes but with hotel amenities. Free veggie soup for dinner, and free breakfast.
