We stayed there for one night, room was spacious and clean. There's a small kitchen and a big plasma tv. We where given a Internet access code but we couldn't reach the wifi, perhaps because we where in one of the further away rooms. Overall, room was warm, clean and we had a good night sleep which is the most... More

Did not know what to expect. I wanted to stay in another and the wife wanted to stay here. In the end, it was a good choice. First thing to remember is that Franz is not a very big place, in fact you can walk it in a few minutes (the town). Very near the only grocery store available (5... More

We planned to stay there for 2 nights during our roadtrip in December 2012. We finally stayed for one night as we preferred to spend the one more night in Queenstown. The place is clean but we got an old not renovated room as seen in the most pictures. The bed was not an actual double bed but two single... More

The Alpine Glacier Motor Lodge was in a great location and definitely met our needs. The staff were really friendly, our only issue was that our room smelt off, like dry cleaning fluid and the smell clung to our belongings when we left. Otherwise recommended as a stop for a Franz Joseph visit.

What a great little place! When we arrived we got a little nervous as it was quiet and looked a little shabby. Then we opened the doors to our room and were extremely happy!! Very well presented rooms, spacious and immaculate. The host is super friendly and is more than happy to give advice and recommend places. Walking distance to... More

Thank you guys for making this legit the best motel I have stayed at my whole trip. The staff's attitude on life is just amazing. Such happy people to be around and they just make you feel so welcomed. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and luxurious all combined. The beds were comfortable and everything was just right. I have no... More

Its an ok place to stay but definitely not deserving of 4.5 stars. The room was of good size and reasonably priced. It is also close to the center of the Franz Joseph village which is convenient. Car parking seemed plentiful. A couple of issues though: firstly the heater is on a fixed timer so during the night it switched... More

The motel appears to be relatively new. It is a short walk to town and restaurants. The rooms were clean and a good size. It had a small kitchenette. The bathroom was a wet room style which meant that water went everywhere when showering - including toilet. The parking infront of your unit was a bit difficult if you had... More

On the outside the Alpine Glacier lodge appears like your standard 70's motel, nothing to get excited about - nor should you for the modest tariffs in a tourist town. But for its calibre you can't go wrong. The human touch was remarkable, amazingly friendly and helpful service all the way to such a degree it was a talking point.... More
