Monthly Rentals in Waiho River

fantastic retreat. Wish our stay could've been longer

Clean and modern. Very comfortable. Plenty of amenities (i.e. towels, toilet paper, etc). Peaceful location but only a few minutes drive to the main Franz Josef area (restaurants, glacier, etc) it makes a great base that's quiet/private without feeling like you're really far away from anything. Our family really enjoyed our stay there and would love to visit again!

Gibbs’ guesthouse is absolute perfection. From the incredible vistas, to the outdoor bath (!!), fireplace, and sumptuous linens, it is a gem and one we will long remember. We had the pleasure of staying here for three nights in mid-June. We were lucky for incredible weather for the most (morning frosts, crisp, sunny days, and cosy, clear nights against a backdrop of incredible stars); using that to our advantage, we flew up to the glacier for a morning on the ice, and used the guesthouse as a fabulous base for other hikes around the area. For one of the days, we were cosy inside with the fire burning and playing many of the games in the cupboards. Perfect relaxation! The guesthouse is appointed beautifully, and Sarah (our host) very responsive and warm in her communication. It’s very easy to find, and just far enough out of town to be very quiet and relaxing. Do yourselves a favour, and book a stay here. You’ll not regret it!

Gorgeous little cottage with care put into every detail! Has everything you need including a great Brekky spread with toast, cereals, fruit, tea and coffee. Clean and cosy with a comfy bed and the extra of having a smart TV. Nice and warm with a cute little deck to star gaze. Super close to Franz Josef town (not walkable) and had plenty of recommendations for things to do etc. Can’t fault this place!
