We stopped over while travelling up the coast. The room had everything we needed but was basic. The heaters had been left on for us but one was not working. Fortunately the room the kids were in was warm enough but the main room was cold. Also the heater was insufficient to warm the room up again in the morning. The bathroom was clean and the shower hot. I would not really recommend staying here in winter if you're at all bothered by the cold, but otherwise good.

I have never in my life written a trip advisor review but I really felt an urgent need to warn people of the horrors of this place. The experience at this motel was upsetting and terrifying. The owners are nasty bullies which I advise you all avoid at all costs. They are unaccommodating, unhelpful and down right nasty. The room itself is drastically insufficiently heated. It's the middle of winter and for the entire space (2 bedroom) we have only one small heater - will post picture. The windows are not double glazed and one in the bedroom does not close properly. If you have any sense do not stay here, it's a horrible place and I say this with all sincerity.

There can be no better place to stay than this motel. It's so lovely, located at such a lovely and scenic surroundings and so very reasonable too.
The Mount Cook can be viewed well from here and to have a better view, just drive on cook flat road for another kilometer or so. From here one can see Fox glacier so very clearly. The motel is very close to Lake Matheson too.
Wifi is free but limited. We had 500 mb/ person for each 4 of us.

Highly recommended.

The place was great with a friendly reception. It is the closest accommodation you will find to Lake Matheson which was really great for us as this is where we would like to visit in the morning (we stayed over for one night).

We stayed in the two room unit and it was very comfortable. Huge rooms and excellent view of Mount Cook. We were told earlier that there was limited hot water for us and it would take a while to reheat the water, which was great especially when we had five people travelling in all. Wifi was free with 500mb given for each person, and it was really well connected in the unit itself.

All in all, for the price that we paid, I would say this is a very decent room indeed. Well worth the stay.

Room tip: Select the corner unit (unit 6) each room had very pretty views!

My family & I just been here for a night. It's not too far from the shop & restaurant.

We stayed in 2 bedrooms lodge and we got 2 double bed & 3 single bed those were comfy. The room also roomy and kitchen had everything you need like most of the motel.

However, the bath room was quite old and smell bad.
