Beautiful location and condition

Great accommodation. Looked very new and clean. Located a couple of kms out of town so very quiet and peaceful. Included continental breakfast. Overall rate highly. Suggestion to have background music in restaurant area to give it some atmosphere.

This is a very comfortable motel style hotel with spacious, clean, modern rooms and a limited breakfast included in the room price. It is outside Franz Josef itself so as there is no restaurant a drive into the resort town itself is required for dining. Some rooms have great views of the mountains (sadly ours wasn’t one of them!)

Far and away my favorite place I stayed in New Zealand. We arrived after check-in, but they were super accommodating and kind when we called. The rooms were so spacious and nice, I wish we stayed longer. Exactly the place you want to land if you have spent a long day traveling. The breakfast was also delicious, and the folks working there were very kind and helpful when we had questions about the area.

Clean property, spacious room and very nice breakfast. Our room looked out over the lawn and pond, however, because the walkway for the rooms is right next to the building, curtains need to be closed for privacy. This diminished the property and surrounding area significantly. There was no A/C, just a small fan, and the windows could not be kept open because there are no screens. Overall, we did not feel it lived up to the hype.

Disappointing. The value was lacking. No A/C, which is fine in a cool climate, but no windows, or screen door to provide ventilation. The "jetted tub" was pointless, as if from the 90's. There was no visible staff, aside from the ad who checked me in, and the others providing the continental breakfast. I could smell the sewage in the bathroom. The TV was programmed to be quiet. The wifi was deplorable. At least the king twin conversion was comfortable. The only saving grace. I would never stay here again.

Enjoyable stay but a number of issues

The premium, spa bath room we had was spacious and very clean with modern furniture, but being on the edge of the property this room plus some others had no opening windows and there was no air conditioning. A fan had been provided but the room was hot and airless at night. Being on the ground floor the sliding opening door could not be left open due to security. The continental breakfast was adequate but only available between 8-9am. Though it advertised satellite TV, only the standard free view channels were available. Also be aware the property is out of town and a car needed to access restaurants.
