    The room had nice fern trees growing outside. The "cottages" although separate from each other are tightly bunched around the carpark. The location was good for the short walks near the Franz Josef glacier, and is almost next door to the very good Alice May restaurant. The room has a kitchenette area, and also has a table for dining on.

    Unfortunately the glacier itself has receded by about 3 kilometres, so it didn't seem possible to get much of a view of it. We got a better glacier view by driving to Fox glacier and driving to the right for 10 kilometres where one can see the Fox Glacier from afar.

    We arrived after check in was closed and left before check in was open so we never met the staff. However we had the key left for us with instructions and the accommodation was lovely. The water was hot and we had a lovely stay.

    Cannot fault anything just sorry we didn't say thank you when we left.

    This place is modern and clean. You can tell the owner puts a lot of care into his properties. So comfortable and peaceful. We had such a lovely stay, would recommend highly as it’s in a great location

    9EmilyPosted on: 10-20-2025

    The room heated quickly and was very clean - especially the bathroom

    I have no complaints

    8MouPosted on: 4-29-2025

    All Good. Staff Members, owner and all people are great. Young Man Huse cleaned out room and nice and kind. Amazing place, amazing experience. Very well organised system. Owner is a lovely person and and his team is excellent.

    Next time I will book a room with kitchen facility. This time when I booked, all motel rooms were full. So next tinme I will book the same place earlier.

    Parking was secured at the main vicinity, the room was neat and clean, way comfortable than I expected. Staff was very helpful. The television has numerous available channels that I can watch during the stay.

    Great little apartment - comfortable for our purposes.

    There were no bowls. Very tiny - ok for short stays.

    9CrosbyPosted on: 4-24-2025

    Staff were lovely, very accomodating Lovely little cottage with nice scenery & great view of the glacier / snow top mountains

    7MeganPosted on: 4-20-2025

    Loved the cabin surrounded by ferns. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Easy walking distance to the start of walks, shops, activities like the heliport and restaurants.

    I didn’t get a cabin with a parking spot outside it and got soaked in the rain. Not major, just an annoyance. No air conditioning or spilt cycle, very humid inside.

    10JustinePosted on: 4-17-2025

    Loved the cottage - it was so cosy with the heavy rain falling on the tin roof.

    8MohanPosted on: 4-16-2025

    Situated in the heart of Franz Josef, this placed served as a good location to visit the glaciers. The staff were most courteous and helpful. The unit itself was very comfortable and clean.

    10WarrenPosted on: 4-16-2025

    The cottage was fantastic, very spacious and well presented. The location was fantastic. Everything was in walking distance.

    8DavidPosted on: 4-9-2025

    Lovely compact unit with all you need for a retreat from the roadtrip or those arduous activities around Franz Josef Town. Staff were exceptional. Easy walking distance to the whole town. Restaurants and cafes just metres away.

    10InduPosted on: 4-8-2025

    By far the best stay we had in New Zealand. The room was spacious, clean, and equipped with all the necessary facilities — a perfect choice for a family stay

    6WojciechPosted on: 3-19-2025

    It's clean, the kitchen and fridge are ok. Bathroom is ok and bed is comfortable. Parking is there but quite small. It's very close to a hiking trail.

    It's expensive. For that price I expect much more.

    10DavidPosted on: 3-17-2025

    Very nice location, close to great walks but still very central to good restuarants and cafe's, self contained cottages so reasonably private,
