Opiniones de los huéspedes

En Legacy Te Waonui Hotel Franz Josef, los viajeros elogian la serena ubicación en la selva tropical, su fácil acceso a pie a lugares de interés, el servicio amable y las habitaciones cómodas con vistas. Muchos disfrutan de la cena y el desayuno de cinco platos incluidos.

Sin embargo, varias reseñas describen precios altos y señalan que la experiencia no es verdaderamente de cinco estrellas. Las opiniones sobre la comida son en general positivas, pero variadas: la calidad del desayuno puede variar, los menús pueden repetirse durante estancias de varias noches y algunos platos o bebidas no estaban disponibles o estaban demasiado cocinados. Las habitaciones suelen ser tranquilas y con vistas exuberantes, aunque algunos señalan espacios pequeños u oscuros, paredes finas o enchufes limitados junto a la cama. Espere una estancia tranquila, centrada en la naturaleza, con un servicio amable y restaurantes en el establecimiento.

Definitely NOT a 5 star hotel! The receptions and bell staff were lovely and the glass of Kiwi juice offered very refreshing. Our room was fine, 2 queen beds however the walls are paper thin and we experienced a constant slamming of doors and children shouting well into the evening. In the bar the staff seemed nonplussed when we asked for Gin & Tonic (also cucumber in Tanqueray??) They presented the bill with every drink even though they had our room number. Nothing is offered with the drinks and when I asked for some nuts I was told they were $5. I said ok and yet they still didn't materialise until I asked again! The meal was nice 5 courses, 2 of which are prechosen (soup and sorbet) the other 3 courses can be chosen from a choice of 3 or 4 items. Again the food was delivered with a speed and disinterest that would not be acceptable in a 5 star hotel. Breakfast is a self service buffet. Overall its a nice hotel but 4 stars at best!

The dinners weren't great - for example rock hard cheese and some inedible dishes, the staff at the food hall's customer service was inconsistent. No gym, pool or fitness centre. Plus the spa was full booked with a massive waiting list. Bit odd as it was a 3 star place at best. Some nice people on main reception but there are some real challenges in this hotel.

Great being able to do our laundry in self serve laundry room. When the road was suddenly closed to Queenstown due to weather damage, we turned back around and stayed here again! Love it!

Freundliches Personal und angenehmes Ambiente. Leider roch unser erstes Zimmer im Erdgeschoss unangenehm feucht nach nassem Keller. Wir haben dann auf ein anderes Zimmer bestanden. Angeblich war das schwierig zu organisieren. Aber nach ca. 30 Min. bekamen wir ein wohlriechendes Zimmer im Obergeschoss. Danach wurde auch zugegeben, dass diverse Zimmer im Erdgeschoss modrig riechen. Das Hotel müsste grundsaniert werden. Das Essen war mittelmäßig.

The rainforest retreat was very special and beautifully presented. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The hot towel and kiwi juice in arrival after a long drive was heavenly. The rooms look over the rainforest and feel secluded. Rooms are quiet, big and clean. Bathroom was spotless with great shower and separate bath. We were lucky enough to have the 5 course dinner and was not disappointed…highly recommend. The buffet brekkie was great too with lots of different options.

Very nice location and staff with a clean room and well thought through. The included dinner and breakfast felt a bit forced and not the expected quality. I would prefer a choice. We were pushed to a 6:00 pm seating for no apparent reason. High price considering the quality overall.

We loved our stay at Te Waonui. The staff were friendly and engaging immediately making us feel comfortable and welcome. The pre-fixed 5 course dinner was a fantastic deal and the quality of the food was excellent. The rooms are lovely and it is nice to have a pleasant view each morning when awaking. Highly recommend this hotel.

Small, functional room - very dark. Comfortable bed but lacked bedside power sockets for phone etc. Yes there are rainforest plants ( ferns etc) quite literally outside the window - solid wall of greenery so almost zero sunlight. The included dinner was reasonable enough. There was a choice of 5 main dishes and choice of desserts. Seems to cater mostly for upmarket tour groups, but with a bit more refinement than you would normal expect. Breakfast was also reasonable. Very efficient and welcoming staff.

I enjoyed my stay here. My room was very comfortable and was surrounded by forest. It was an oasis. Service was excellent. They drove me to the InterCity bus stop upon checkout. Meals are included. There was a good variety at breakfast. Dinner was a five course degustation feast. Since I do not eat cheese, they substituted fruit for the 4th course. Much appreciated.

Situado en medio de la selva tropical con vistas a las montañas, la propiedad es tranquila pero se puede llegar a pie a los restaurantes, actividades y excursiones a los glaciares de Franz Josef. Muchos lo encontraron una base conveniente para practicar senderismo y excursiones locales.

A beautiful hotel with views of nearby mountains. Rooms tastefully decorated and nightly turn down service left magnificent chocolates. Dinner and breakfast were included in the price for our room. Unfortunately the five course dinner menu was the same for the three nights of our stay. Lovely to sit on the balcony for meals to enjoy the view- don’t forget your repellent, the sand flies are fierce. A lovely place to stay.
