Small motel, easy parking by room. The room was airy, comfortable, well furnished, lovely modern shower. Good kitchen facilities.. The whole site looked well maintained and spotless. Staff very welcomingand obviously took a pride in the place..

This is an older style motel but it was clean and comfortable and had beautiful views of Franz Josef when it was clear. We stayed for one night and the couple who run this motel were helpful and informative - we booked a Helihike through them and saved $35 on the cost for one person! They also recommended a local...

What a lovely little motel this was. Stayed one night prior to a heli hike the next day. Warm welcome when we arrived. The room had everything you could need & was spotless. Very useful laundry. Lovely views & peaceful location. Would highly recommend.

This is an older country motel in tip top order with welcoming helpful owners and the most gorgeious yellow labrador dog who happily comes over for a pat.

Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped for self-catering and comfortable. The location, 2k outside Franz Josef, suited us very well: it was quiet, tranquil and with a great view of the glacier glinting in the mountains.

Wifi is an issue but the management are aware and addressing the point. I prefer total free Wifi when travelling and anything... More

We had to stop in FranzJosef only because the road to Greymouth was not available. All way back south almost to Queenstown expected us next day and our mood was terrible. The lady on reception was so nice and helpful that we forgot about our problems and felt us like at home. Absolutely breathtaking mountain views, very cosy, spotless and... More

Keep in mind the price of this hotel & you won't be disappointed. On the positive side, it's clean, the beds are comfortable, the bedding is warm. However, we were at the front of the hotel & didn't like the road noise. It was very basic - no wi-fi, which was a problem as we couldn't get a Vodafone connection.... More
