ABOUT
TE AWA HOLIDAY COTTAGES - FRANZ JOSEF
Te Awa Cottages was built in 2018, a family business born in the South Westland region. Franz Josef Glacier has been our home for over 10 years since settling on our four-and-a-half-acre lifestyle block and building our family home.
Our cottages are surrounded by lush West Coast grassland meadows, paddocks, towering native trees and one of the best views in town up the glacier valley.
We want to share our little slice of paradise and a glimpse of life on the West Coast in New Zealand.
We look forward to welcoming you...
UNIQUE WEST COAST ACCOMMODATION EXPERIENCE
There are two identical modern cottages, Tahi & Rua set adjacent yet staggered for privacy.
Each is generous in size at 48 square meters and has everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay.
Complete with a King size bed with an ensuite and large shower and a separate living area with a sofa couch so that each cottage can sleep up to four people if needed.
There is a kitchenette with an electric frypan and microwave for your basic cooking needs.
Sheltered decks extend off of each cottage offering the perfect morning coffee spot or evening wine while you soak up an amazing West Coast sunset and the glacier valley and mountain views. Take a stroll into town via the Gibb Trail or dip in the nearby Tatare River to cool off on a hot summer's day.
Indulge in a late check out of 11 am and embrace the convenience of an easy self-check-in. Of course, Ginell and Isaac are only a message or call away if you need them or are after any local tips for things to do, places to eat and must-sees.
The cottages have been landscaped into their own little oasis with a native garden privacy berm planted with flaxes and cabbage trees, large river boulders and tussock grass.
The beauty of Te Awa Cottages' location is that you are in a rural, natural setting yet so close to the action. Welcome to your quaint little cottage in the wilderness!
