Punga Grove has been busy freshening up our rooms to welcome old and new friends to Franz Josef.
Gather your adventure gear, load up the car, and get outdoors!
It's hard to beat the naturescape of the West Coast and South Island.
Getting here is a big part of the fun and adventure,
traversing dramatic mountain passes,
going from temperate rainforests to
hitting the slopes from one day to the next.
Our motel, set amidst the native Franz Josef rainforest, is designed to maximize the beauty
of the mountain views and greenery with decks, outdoor areas, or conservatory windows.
Our spacious, well-equipped rooms come with all that you will need.
Fully equipped kitchenettes for self-catering if you feel like staying in.
Or have an impromptu cookout using one of our guest BBQs.
We have Sky TV sports, entertainment, and movie channels so you won't miss your favourite must-sees.
After an active day out and about, come home and relax with a hot cuppa.
Whip up a meal or stroll over to one of our watering holes in the village.
Just what you need for a restful and rejuvenating break.
Punga Grove is just a short walk from all the local restaurants, shops, and other attractions and activities in Franz Josef village. Highlights include the West Coast Wildlife Centre (we're getting a penguin in October 2025!!) and the Glacier Base for booking your heli-hikes and other activities; or book a hot tub to relax and soak those sore muscles -- all just minutes away from your room at Punga Grove.
