Great location in Franz Josef
This was a comfy house for my family and I to stay in while visiting Franz Josef. Great walkable location in town. The shower was clogged with hair when we arrived which we resolved, though the owners did respond promptly to our message about this concern. Beds were comfortable and clean. We appreciated the supply of toys which our 3yo enjoyed.

Awesome stay. Beautiful views
It was the perfect place for us. We could see the glazier from the house and it was just perfect. Beautiful weather, neat and clean and so comfortable with lots of little extras in the kitchen to make our time amazing. I forgot a pillow and my host kindle had it delivered to my home front door. Really over and beyond. We made life memories. Thank you so much. Des

The property is situated in the Franz Josef township and thus is accessible to nearby walks and dining options. It has some beautiful views from the kitchen. The house itself although was clean but lacked a few important things. It didn't have a bolt in the washroom which made it a bit inconvenient. The equipment were a bit rusty as well. Overall, although the place was clean and decent considering the price so would rate 4/5 overall.

Great home for families
We enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and warm. We were pleasantly surprised to see a bit of the glacier from one of the bedroom windows on a clear day. Close to restaurants and other touristy things. The host was very accomodating of our requests :)

Although the house says mid-century, it's actually pretty spacious and modern with three bedrooms. It's clear the home has been gradually renovated and is neatly decorated with everything a family needs. The induction cooktops are quick and easy to whip up a meal in quick time (although there is no rangehood so you need to be mindful of steam/smoke from the cooking. The heat pump air conditioning unit was quick to warm up the living room and the bedrooms are heated by a panel heater in the corridor. The washing machine was very handy as was the supplied clothes drying rack (there is an outdoor clothesline too if you are lucky enough to get Franz Josef on a sunny day). The house is a short walk to the main shops and across the road from the kiwi centre. The two walks (Tunnel Walk and Callery Gorge) are also less than 5 mins walk to trail head. Also a shoutout to the host, Susan, who was very accommodating and very responsive.

Brilliant stay!
Perfectly located for visiting the glaciers area, even a view of the glacier from the kitchen window! Spacious, comfortable house with everything you could need. Susan was unbelievably helpful both before visiting and after, helping us to be reunited with some things we had accidentally left behind - definitely went above and beyond!

This is the only accommodation we stayed in that had a 3:00pm and not a 2:00pm check in. Therefore, one would expect it to be clean and ready for the next guests. We arrived at the back of 3:00pm only to find unmade beds, dirty towels, toilet etc. The hostess arrived after us complaining about the traffic. We left the property for her to clean. Judging by what we returned to was a half hearted attempt at cleaning. Our sheets were dirty and creased, and waking up in the morning with a cockroach staring at us wasn’t a good start to the day. The kitchen had a white film over the counters and sink which I then had to clean along with the stained mugs. One certainly doesn’t feel welcome at this property, not even a small gesture of milk to make a cup of tea after a long drive. I do not consider the expired food supplies left by other guests as a token of a welcome. Compared to the lovely notes, chocolate, bowls of fruit, fresh flowers, milk, choice of fresh tea or beautiful soaps that we received at our other accommodations, Mid Century House has a lot to learn in hosting. I’m not saying I expect any of these things, albeit really nice and welcoming, we do expect a level of cleanliness. This property has so much potential but it is run down and needs a good scrub. The price was more than most of our accommodation we stayed in and was terrible in comparison. Not to mention that we had to pay upfront when booking more than six months prior.

Good Location, unfortunately a bit outdated and not clean.
Location was spacious and good located. Unfortunately the apartment needs a few repairs, e.g. the bathroom windows could not be closed. Cutlery was badly cleaned and too few towels.
