This property is in imaculate condition and well managed.The rooms are of a higher than average spec'. Perfectly located for the centre of Franz Josef & the restaurants. Try the nearby 'Hot Pools'.Very relaxing. We went on the half day walk up the glacier which took six hours.The guides were so professional and helpful..Be prepared for a great experience BUT... More

Firstly, a big thumbs up to the manager of the motel, who was very friendly and helpful. We had a family room and it was actually slightly larger than I expected. It was clean but had a few signs of wear and tear but overall nice. It's 75 metres to the main street etc so in a great location and... More

I booked this Motel well in advance and I do recommend this as it is popular and although the sign may say vacancies in the morning the 3 nights we were there it was no vacancies by the evening. This is a very central motel and the staff are amazing. Offered milk on arrival which was a lovely touch and... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights after driving from Greymouth, reached around 7:30 in the evening. We had taken a mountain view studio although there isn't much of a difference between the views from the rooms as the property is pretty small and the snow capped mountains are probably visible from almost anywhere in the town if you just...
