Chateau Franz Backpackers in Franz Josef, New Zealand

Shane and Zoe would love to welcome you to Chateau Franz Backpacker and Motel. We extend our warm welcome to our sister hostels guests from Glow Worm Cottages, currently undergoing what will be a fantastic renovation! We will be your home away form home offering the same accommodation for the same price just a stones throw away from Glow Worm Cottages in the heart of the beautiful Franz Josef!

Come and relax here after your fun-filled day on the glacier, with a cozy log fire, free spa pool, SKY TV, free movies and free popcorn, friendly informative staff and a great atmosphere! And don't forget, we've got free Wi-Fi!

Chateau Franz is set amongst a rainforest backdrop with views of the glacial mountains and is conveniently located within walking distance to all bars, cafes, shops and pick-up points.

Come on in and enjoy our homely atmosphere.

We have free Wi-Fi, soup, DVDs, spa pool and popcorn!
