This motel has cute, small bungalow type rooms. The bed was hard and because it was raining the TV and internet went on and off. The front office check in was awesome and the woman was so sweet and showed us to our room and later brought us hot scones and butter! They really go out of there way to help in anyway possible. Great location as you can walk to all restaurants and only a short drive to the trail to Franz Josef glacier. Even though beds were so-so I would still there again for a night.

Our one night stay coincided with a once in 100 year storm at Franz Josef. Since the State Highway 6 was closed for 150k in either direction, we were trapped in Franz Josef, and owner was happy to guarantee finding us accommodation for a second night. In the event, we were able to stay on in the same room. Never got to see the glacier, given the atrocious weather. And the (only) bridge south of Franz Josef was washed way on the second day. Visited the kiwis (twice).

Having read mixed reviews, wasn’t sure what to expect but pleasantly surprised. We had a private room with en suite. The room was small but not the smallest we’ve had in New Zealand and had everything we needed including fridge and tv. There is also a large shared kitchen where a basic breakfast of cereals and toast is available 7.30-9.00am. Great location in centre of Franz Josef.

I liked that fact that you could park right outside the property and just lug your bags in. There was adequate heating in the cold winter, the loft was nice and warm. The reception was very helpful with small requests and the Franz Josef Glacier hike company and hot pools were a mere 200 meters away, making it easy to just walk down to the facility

Receiving an upgrade was a real bonus as we were moved to the luxury units with a balcony. Great sized rooms with comfy beds and great sized bathroom. Well appointed kitchen so we could self cater a lot. Awesome balcony with beautiful native bush all around. Great to have a restaurant and bar on site and so close to town/everything.

My husband and I loved our stay here. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinner on the porch looking out at the beautiful landscape and Franz glacier. The place is very clean, comfy bed, and designed beautifully. Owner was extremely responsive. Our favorite place we stayed in New Zealand!

Super generous hosts. Villa was spotless. Our two night stay meant we were able to really enjoy exploring Lake Matheson with its famous reflective views of Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, see gorgeous views of Fox Glacier and travel back to Franz Josef to walk in to see that glacier too.
