Glacier Gateway Motel  

Die Zimmer haben total muffig gerochen und besonders aus den Schränken kam ein stechender Geruch. Wir waren in 9 verschiedenen Motels in Neuseeland und das war das Schlechteste. Aber der Ort an sich ist toll, besonders ein Helikopterflug auf den Gletscher mit Wanderung ist sehr zu empfehlen.

umittelbare Nähe zum Fox Glacier und Franz Josef Glacier mit guten Heli-flugmöglkichkeiten

The surroundings and the most friendly and helpful staff and owners. :)

Hard to find as a little out of town and Motel sign a little miss leading...Gateway to small and as there is another Glacier Motel in town a bit confusing.

NIce, clean very well organized, Love it!

The motel was spacious,and the beds were clean and comfortable.The room we had was on the side with no sun,so there was a slightly musty smell,but not too bad.

Was a bit hard to pick up the sign,coming from the village,we went past,then turned back ,it was easier to see it coming the other way.

Basic but comfortable and warm good value for money - staff friendly

Need better signage -

Location was perfect. Had laundry facilities. Plenty of room, very comfortable.

None

It was ok for the price but not what I expected from the website

There was no one there to greet us, just a note. The bed was terrible and the bathroom needed a decent clean, there was mold on the back if the door.

Basic amenities were there.

General ambience was depressing. We made special request but the rooms were cold. A light did not work. An underblanket did not switch on. My recommendation is that if one can afford a bit more, stay elsewhere.

Location was handy for glacier and/or adventure excursions

Dishes not washed for guests, one bed not made. Two ring burner for stove inadequate for a family dinner.

Close to Franz Josef and the glacier

Very close to the Glaciers (a little further from the restaurants we needed to drive although it was possible to walk.

ghood facilities and location

No free internet

we found the rooms were musty and dismal.the discription of the location of the motel is misleading.

Comfortable clean room. Very close to the village and good access to the Glacier.

Helpful staff. Great location with fantastic views of the mountains and glaciers.

Too many insects in the room

Convenient location along highway, but difficult to spot as you come into the area for the first time.

Our first 2-bedroom unit had a foul smell, like mould or wet carpet. We requested and received a different unit, which also had a wet odour, but not as bad as the first. Dishes and pots were not well-cleaned, and seemed to have not been properly inspected. Bedrooms had poor beds and poor lighting. Needs upgrading.

clean and handy for activities

Good size facilities

Lack of chest of drawers, or furniture to put anything in!!

Fair sized adequate room but have had much better for the money

Very dark decor and very thin walls so could hear person in next room coughing all night

Shower was a bit weak

Outside seats by sliding door

Sheets were a bit tired

The fact that the owner upgraded us from the Studio we booked to a 1 bedroom unit as we were staying for more than 1night

I am a smoker and asked the owner for an ash tray to use outside which he gave me. But I did see another person who just stamped his butts out on the floor of the car park. I therefore suggest the owner supplies outdoor ashtray to stop this from happening as it gives us smokers a bad name.

We found the unit to be a little dated but certainly clean and comfortable. It was well positioned for a trip to the Franz Josef Glacier.
