Guest reviews for Westwood Lodge

Everyone (1)
3 out of 5

Stands out from motels in the area

Pros: Nicest and most unique place we could find to stay in Franz Josef, much more characterful than hotels
Cons: Price is very high for a b&b, even a "premium" one.
Location: We were just using this as a stopover en route to the north of the south Island
Very nice overnight stay, very good in every respect, just pricey for a b&b
