Steve the manager is excellent. He went out of his way to look after us and took us into town. He was so lovely and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Friendly reception. Parked car at door. Spacious living area, good shower and toilet room. Very helpful staff. The property is a bit remote and I wouldn’t recommend walking to Franz Joseph as road is busy.

Very accommodating host. Helped us with our glacier bookings.

An empty motel in peak season was the first warning. Initial appearance on entering the room was good. A spacious well appointed bedroom kitchenette with en-suite bathroom. Lack of air conditioning. The mattress was so soft it made sleep uncomfortable.A tiny shower cubicle and a bathroom abundant in moths and black fly made me reticent to use it. We ran out of toilet paper which was so thin that we bought our own. A very friendly owner doesn’t compensate for an experience I would not like to replicate.

4/10

Upon arrive the place looked derelict. The lawns and gardens were overgrown and in need of mowing and weeding. Checkin consisted of a girl running out and telling us there was a key in the door. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom has been renovated. The furniture looked like it was leftover from the second hand shop. The TV remote didn't work and heating is only a small space heater. There is no houskeeping and the office is only open in the afternoon. It is more than 2 minutes to town.

8/10

Tidy unit, well equiped kitchen and great shower pressure. The most affordable stay I could find in Franz. Wifi was very weak at number 9 (too far from the modem is my guess) - needs a booster. Bed is super soft, so more suitable for tiny humans.

no thing interesting.

Clean property, good facilities although the TV remote didn’t work. Improved exterior since last visit would suggest wooden trellis divides for more privacy between units.

10/10

Huge room with kitchen and large bathroom. Very quite and peaceful. Comfy bed and fully equipped kitchen. The only downside is the wifi was very slow.
2-night trip

10/10

The property was a convenient location with great views. The parking was right outside the room. The Wifi was not good.
1-night family trip

4/10

Sadly, communication with the hotel proved impossible. I was “stranded” down in the town area with the hotel a half hour walk up a steep hill with heavy luggage. Numerous phone call ignored. Eventually managed to get a lift to the hotel. When there, staff were kind and attentive. Accommodation better than average. Next morning I needed a lift into town to catch the bus. No one showed up at Reception at office opening time, not responded to my phone calls. I had to hitch a ride down in to town. Very, very poor communication skills.
