Fantastic hosts – very friendly and helpful. Extremely clean rooms with modern décor and furnishings. Great communication, so nice to receive an email from the motel after booking and also a couple of days prior to our arrival pointing out places of interest along the way to Franz Josef. Perfect location, close walking distance to restaurants/cafes and attractions (helicopter scenic tours, wildlife centre etc) Will definitely stay here again – Highly recommended.

Amazingly friendly staff who made you feel welcomed, complimentary glow worm tour at night was an added bonus we enjoyed. Room was large, well appointed, clean. So conveniently located near absolutely everything.

Clean, spacious, well appointed. Close to all bars and restaurants. Cosy heater in room. Water pressure in shower was terrible. Had to stand under water for half an hour to get soap off.
