Great stay!
We loved our 2 night family stay here. Better than we expected from a 'motel'; the rooms were modern, clean, and roomy. Close to restaurants. We'd stay here again and recommend!

Stay here
It was great- the owners are lovely and incredibly accommodating and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The location was excellent for access to Franz Josef activities and restaurants. It’s a five minute walk to the town center, if that. Highly recommend a stay here.

Good choice in FJ
Nice place to stay. Kitchen is well-equipped but a little bit small (but still suitable to cook a simple dinner). Premise is nice, owners are very nice as well.

Loved the stay here. The only thing I would have liked to have an outside table and chairs for every room.

The motel is in a great location - away from the Main Street but close enough to walk to everything. It’s clean and nice staff.

Great location right across the street from the glacier helicopter departure point. Hot tubs were right next door. Super clean and modern property. Friendly staff that gave us some great recommendations.

Great stay, super easy to load luggage in and out as you can back right up to sliding door. Walkable to shops and restaurants, beds were comfy, tv’s a tad small but did the job.

Nice large room and a convenient location. Owners were extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions for anything you need. Easy walk to everything in Franz Joseph. Bed was a little soft for our liking, but overall a really great place to stay.

We had a great stay here. The rooms were very clean and comfortable.
The highlight of the stay were the managers, Graham and Sheryl, who told us about a partial road closure and helped us plan our trip south. They also suggested which walks to do around the area, and gave us tips about dining in town.
Highly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful property, spacious and very well equipped with bulk bottles rather than tiny hotel ones. Beautiful view. Fire. Two minute walk to Queenstown Hill Walking Track. You can walk into town easily as it’s downhill but would be a steep uphill walk back. Good parking in the garage.
