This is an amazing property. One of the highlights of our trip as far as accommodation is concerned. We were to stay here for Christmas Eve and the hosts (Pam and Peter) made sure to advise us well in time to prepare for our stay in Franz Josef as being holiday most shops around would be closed. It's a fantastic, well maintained and extremely clean property

    The glacier area is a wonderful place to visit. The weather can be unpredictable so we recommend booking your activities for first thing in the morning, the weather tends to get worse throughout the day.

    So much to see and do. I will ensure that we spend more time there on our next visit. Highlight was Scenic Helicopter trip to the Glacier flying with Ken from Heliservices. NZ. Make sure you finish off your day with a private soak at Waiho Hot Tubs.

    Unfortunately it was raining at times and overcast so our helicopter flight to the glaciers was cancelled. We were given a full refund as the weather was out of our control. We could still do walks and the wildlife centre and movie of the western coast of NZ at the cinema were a highlight.

    We dined at the Landing restaurant.

    We dined at the Landing restaurant. Very good, busy and lively atmosphere, with friendly service, many tables were reserved. Big platefuls of great food, so bring your appetite. Easy parking in Franz, as would be expected. Especially after QT!! The walk to the glacier viewing platform from the car-park shouldn't be underestimated for anyone who is infirm or unfit. But it's worth it for the view when you get there. The west coast road is delightful to drive. But note that there was road clearing operations which literally closed the road north of Haast for a couple of hours! Take heed of any warning signs!

    Lots of walking trails towards the glacier but sadly we were not able to do any walking as it was raining hard and steady during our stay. Enjoyed a delicious meal at “Alice May” restaurant only 5-10 minute walk from hotel.

    Everything was clean and comfortable. Good location but not best location (best location would be directly in Franz Josef or Fox Glacier). Nonetheless it’s only a few minutes away but you need a vehicle. Quiet for a motel. Private entrance : you don’t have to pass in front of other rooms when you enter your room. Microwave and others to fix your own food and breakfast. I would definitely come back.

    Hotel is in an amazing location, which was why we chose it. We only stayed two nights but managed to do everything we wanted to in the area. The main one being the Franz Josef heli hike. Hotel restaurant was very good and the all inclusive dinner & breakfast (which I hadn't realised at the time of booking) was a bonus.

    Rustic ‘60s style motel. Quiet location, spacious well equipped eith cooking facilities etc. provided everything a traveller needs. Bonus was a fantastic view of Franz Josef Glacier. Staff were Chinese speaking but used google translator to communicate- so no problems.

    We had a scenic view of the glacier from the room and balcony. The design of the hotel is interesting and modern, completely integrated into nature. The parking facility is good and the location is right where everything happens, within walking distance.
