Great accommodation in a great location

Great accommodation in a great location. Not really as price competitive as some we've stayed in, but that must be due to the area.

10/10 Exceptional

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
Derek, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodated early check-in when in the midst of an area-wide power outage. His orientation to local attractions was outstanding, giving us guidance that helped us maximize our time experiencing the glaciers. Spacious room with good heater. The bath towels were small, but adequate. Kitchenette supplies (pans, hot plate, roster, dishes, and utensils) were plentiful and facilitate making meals in the room.

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
