A great location. Excellent setup for a pit stop stay. Rooms are clean, modern, well equipped and come with all the usual hotel bits and pieces that you usually don’t get at a motel/hostel. Soap, towels, en-suite bathrooms and a little balcony

Perfect self contained unit for family of five! Handy to everything.

Wide range of accommodations available. Was upgraded to a private room ensuite, sharing a kitchen with two other rooms. Manager Ann was incredibly helpful to all of her guests who were trying to respond to New Zealand's 48-hour notice of an impending coronavirus 4-week lockdown. She calmly handled a stressful situation to the benefit of all of the traveler-guests at Ivory Towers. I am much obliged. Fabulous place to stay if you get a chance.

Friendly and helpful staff. Kitchen very clean and well organized. Outside Bar-B-Q was bonus.

Very comfortable place. I checked in late so the key was left with a friendly note. Very close to Fox Glacier. Recommended

We actually didn't meet the staff, because we arrived late, but they left the keys and that was nice. The beds were really comfortable, the toilets were too small, but in general it was a great place to stay.

The hostel is located near restaurants, the grocery store and there's also a gas station. The room was big enough and clean, comes with a TV. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook our own food.The shared bathroom's were pretty clean. They have parking in front of the hostel, but if they are fully booked parking is on the street.

Can’t get much better than the location. Rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of outdoor space to relax, and super nice staff.

Cooking facilities were fine. The hot tub and sauna were excellent and enjoyable. The games and books were useful and we enjoyed the close location to various local walks. We preferred staying here to Josef as it was less busy and more chilled, and cut the very tricky road section out for our trip South first thing next day.

Room was comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful. Location was central. We passed by on a rainy late evening/morning so didn’t have a chance to enjoy much of the facility or town.
