Welcome to Holly Homestead B&B at glorious Franz Josef Glacier, South Westland. Our beautifully restored character 1920's home is conveniently located approx 1.5km north of the Franz Josef village. Your hosts Gerard and Bernie invite you to share in their slice of paradise!
This colonial homestead is one of Franz Josef's finest old timber homes. Holly Homestead is a fine example of "Arts & Crafts" architecture, built in the 1920's from beautiful native timbers.

A delicious full breakfast will get you started in the morning, hot and cold drinks are available at any time, and the Franz Josef township offers a choice of restaurants for lunch and dinner.
