More amenities than we expected which was a pleasant surprise. We also arrived earlier than expected and the staff were completely accommodating and ready to check us in early. We were very thankful after a long drive.

Although the room was small, it was well equipped with everything we needed. The common kitchen provided all the utensils, making it convenient for us to prepare meals. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the check-in process was smooth even though we arrived late. Overall, a comfortable stay

Friendly staff, very well-equipped kitchen and good communal facilities. My only complaint is that the en-suite sink was so small, and with a poorly positioned shelf above, that there wasn’t enough room to brush my teeth or wash my hands!

Above and beyond service and friendliness. Our host was exceptional at check in, providing a complimentary fresh warmed blueberry muffin for each traveler. Rooms were warm, clean & comfortable. Common area spacious, friendly, very well equipped, with complementary coffee, vegetable soup (home made!), popcorn. Full kitchen. Also a gym and spa available.
Our departure from the region was delayed, and we were allowed access to the common area after check out by the very generous host.
HIGHLY recommended.

The staff were friendly and very helpful in getting our luggage up to our family room. We appreciated the lovely extras - muffins on arrival, popcorn and marshmallows, and homemade soup in the communal kitchen.

Great location, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The onsite amenities in the shared kitchen were very nice. The rooms were a bit noisy but got quiet after 9 pm and the sinks are super tiny, otherwise it was a great choice for our two nights in the area.

Wild Kea Lodge was perfect for our 2 night stay in Franz Josef. Our comfort room was a good base for exploring the area. The communal kitchen and dining area was really handy. The lodge is in the centre of the township so really convenient for amenities.

Good times in Franz Josef.
Our stay in Wild Kea Lodge exceeded expectations. The staff and owner were friendly and generous and ensured our stay in Franz Josef was memorable. We recommend Wild Kea Lodge and the associated businesses The Landing hotel and Running Beans Cafe highly. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

The stand-out place we stayed on our travels - brilliant staff, lovely room, great facilities, beautifully decorated... but it was the little things like fresh muffins and water bottles when we arrived and help getting our luggage up to the top floor that really made the difference. Highly recommended!
