Everything is good except for the shower. It doesn't work at all. The water flows like a foam. I can't wash my hair. Other than that, it's good. There's a kitchen as well. Close to the helicopter that will take you up. Very good.
A beautiful area just outside of Franz Josef. It's nearby the road, so you may get some traffic noise. Other than that, it was a quiet and restful night there. We could see the milky way at night!
We had a studio, so no kitchen but a microwave was available. There's a laundry as well. Wifi was good.
The manager was very friendly and allowed us to fill out campervan with water.
Very Good

The hotel is located on the edge of FRANZE GLACIER. It is very convenient to go to the trail the next day to see the glacier. It is very convenient, motel, suite, with kitchen, it feels great!
Overall it was a particularly good choice near the fox glacier, and all the rooms were fully booked on the day. The cabin is equipped with the kitchen utensils needed, but there is no dishwasher. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a bathroom, which is used in line, but overall it is the best choice.
Be sure to stay in the Deluxe Forest Suite. The privacy is as high as being surrounded by the forest.
The room configuration is 10 points clean, and the overall feeling is comfortable. 10 points suitable for couples and families
A good choice as a stop after a day's drive up north along the west coast highway and after a walk around Lake Matheson at the dusk. The motel is easy to locate. Kitchen is well-layout and it will be super if there is an electric stove and pots. The bathroom will be more use-friendly if some hooks are installed on the wall for towels and clothings.
The hotel itself is very comfortable, the parking lot and the room are very large, the bedding quality is good, with a heater, it is not cold in the winter 9 nights. The bathroom has plenty of space in the bathtub and the hot water is warm. There are loungers at the entrance to enjoy the lawn, a small breakfast and homely but enough. However, it is not easy to drive from Queenstown all the way. (Don't open the night road in New Zealand, there are all mountain roads without lights). The location of the hotel is not in the town, a little distance, but it is very close to the glacier on the helicopter. It can catch up in the morning and get a high score.

Outstanding
TTomtanchThe hotel seems new and all the rooms were very clean. There was also a nice little kitchen and a spa bath tub, which we did not find the time to use. Special mention to the kind lady at the reception who was very helpful and informative. Thanks!
We drove to visit the Fox Glacier Walk and the Lake Matheson Trail, which was about half an hour drive away. There were supermarkets nearby in case one planned to cook or dine in at the restaurants.
蒋蒋小帽Hotel facilities are very good, the room is very large, you can cook, but the rules are more demanding, even the green mouth can not be cooked, there is a need to cook a careful look at the instructions in the room oh ~ room facilities are complete, clean, bathroom wet Separated, the bath water is great. On the night of the day we stayed, the boss specially posted a note to us at the reception. The heating in the room was already open, and it was very heart-warming. The hotel is just opposite the Glacier reservation hall and is just a minute's walk away. The location is very convenient. Very worthy of recommendation.
BBarinder MandlaDidn’t manage to stay in this hotel, however there was no suggestion and no advice to make the experience better especially being a tourist who would not know many things about the location of the hotel.
GGuest UserA very good hotel. The concierge will provide free valet parking. The front desk staff are also friendly and enthusiastic. They will answer and satisfy all questions. The dinner is 5 courses and the service is also very good. I am very satisfied. I will stay here next time when I go to the west coast. Will choose.
VValentellaGreat place to stay! Very close to city center and any restaurant or supermarket. Great host, they have us so many good suggestions. Recommended 100%
梁梁The environment is very good, there are supermarkets and restaurants next to it, the scenery outside the window of the room is beautiful, there are stoves and all kinds of kitchenware, you can cook. It's just that the internet signal in the room is not very good.
SShi YingThe hotel owners are really warm and helpful. The room is immaculate and clean. It is located near to the major attrations, shops and buses. Thanks for the great hospitality, we really enjoyed our stay and the walk/view from the glacier. - Family of 3 from Singapore who stayed on 16 Dec 24 :)
劉劉The law-abiding backpacker hotel, we stayed for two days, the two-person room did not have a separate bathroom, but was assigned to a house, just no other guests, we will have that one. The saloon can also ~ the kitchen also provides basic pots and pans, etc. ~ Advantages, there is a complimentary breakfast, and there is a hot soup in the evening, although they are all the same thing! And parking is convenient! Disadvantages, I don't know if we are on the side or not, I can't even get wifi, I just ran to the saloon, and there was a bit of noise when it rained, because the roof of the corridor is iron, but the room is not, barely Not too noisy.
