Very clean 5 mins drive to town but next to the key highway which is noisy for me. Beds too soft, 5 of us don't really enjoy it. Interesting cooking policy to keep the unit clean (e.g. no seafood?!) I didn't feel being welcome, maybe because we only stay 1 night. There is a notice stated you could request additional heater/electric blanket and if you do, please let them know in advance. On the day we arrived it's heavily raining and very cold to us, so we requested either a electrical blanket/heater for the one who has to sleep in the living room, however, we don't feel it's really easy to get this from the staff/owner, being challenged as this demand high electricity usage and we only pay for such a "budgeted" rate. (Maybe we are just too used to the previous holiday park that we stayed with enough electricity blanket/heater and just 50% off this motel rate). At the end, we get the extra heater. We are not those people who love to waste the natural resources, while if it's the motel's notice to let us know that we could request. We just don't want to request during the mid-night while we found that we are too freeze to sleep. In fact, we just have to use that to warm up the place before sleep and we simply turn it off before bed, it's the unfriendly attitude for the staff/owner's response make us feel bad. There are plenty of choice in the area, don't think our mood should be ruined by this.

The owners were friendly and informative, and their doggy was just so lovable!!! The location of the park was excellent, the view of Franz Josef from our front door was just magic.

We liked the privacy and being able to unpack our belongings from the car under shelter. We were also very comfortable and appreciated having an easy chair in the room. Excellent value and we would have liked to stay longer.

The motel was very quiet and clean and had beautiful views over the valley. The shower had very little pressure and was horrible to use. Also the single bed was not comfortable.

A spacious , modernly furnished motel in a tranquil setting with superb views of the Southern Alps . The bedding was so comfortable, bathroom spacious, and host welcoming and very friendly. Perhaps the distance to the local town is a limiting factor.
