Great place to stay , very clean with everything you need. Shame about the rest of Franz Josef, rip off restaurants over inflated prices, they carry on like this then this great motel will suffer

The property was well located near the glacier. It provided all the required amenities and the staff were very kind and helpful with recommendations. It is not a fancy place, but is clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Not worth $300. Basic room booked out so booked one better room ! I wonder what basic room be like. Got disable room so I suppose everything more user friendly including needed to park at disable spot because that was our spot. Night time special ventilator made noise. Some sort of humidifying fan. Reception said don’t worry, it will stop . Thank god it stopped making noise stopped . And we stuffed tea towel in there so air flow stooped. A friend booked and cancelled the room because they missed the flight and hotel got no vacancy that night so they must have sold out the room. I wonder whether we got better room as such but still very crappy.

Small compact room
The room was quite small compared with other accommodation we have had in N Zealand. It is in an ideal location and you can walk to everywhere in Franz Josef
