Holly Homestead
Franz Josef, West Coast
Franz Josef Bed & Breakfast
Holly Homestead is a boutique bed and breakfast located on the outskirts of Franz Josef township with a lovely rural setting and some of the best views of the Southern Alps. Built in 1926 this luxury bed and breakfast is an excellent example of “Arts & Crafts” architecture mixed with country design and beautiful native timbers. You can feel that the people who lived here over the years lived well. Personally hosted by passionate locals who can advise you on local history, activities and dining. Start your adventure in "Glacier Country" with breakfast at the large wooden farmhouse table and enjoy the charm of a country kitchen. Superb views of the Southern Alps.
Holly Homestead is currently in hibernation, reopening October 2022
