It's a small but well contained place for family. Unique and feels like a place in the great outback. Able to view the mountains from the place

Excellent location. Everything very organized and harmonious with a view of the glacier from the common area. They offer soup every night and breakfast in the morning. In addition, the rooms have a kitchenette.

The price/performance ratio is pretty good. It's a motel, a bit like a youth hostel, and the atmosphere is pretty good. But the soundproofing in the room is really bad, it can be said that there is no soundproofing. Then the roof is made of wood and creaks. . .

A basic room and a small en-suite but I have to say that we had a great stay, it was friendly, welcoming and exceptionally clean. The staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful, add in the laundry room, the fully equipped communal kitchen, the communal sitting area, the outside hot tub and the evening soup dish for anyone who wanted it, who could ask for more. It was amazing.

no need for a hotel or a motel, the glow worm accomodation is the best hostel you will find!! we are a couple in our honeymoon and the private room was perfect for us. the facilities (included a free hot tub) and the morning breakfast and evening soup (with no extra fee was awesome). the crew is the nicest you will find in NZ. super recommended.
