At first l thought this going to be bad , but the check in was flawless. The room was extremely nice. Sitting outside watching the sunset and clouds flowing through the mountains was so refreshing. The stars were incredible. Finally the breakfast granola choices were excellent. Ate twice. 5star

Property was located a few kilometers north of town. Lovely view out the back of the complex over a green pasture and pond. Room was spacious with Scandinavian style architecture and furniture. Center of the complex held the reception desk and breakfast buffet tables. You can sit outside on the deck

This hotel is a lot further out from town than I expected and it is not walkable to the town of Frans Josef. BUT, the view is spectacular and the rooms were great. Would definitely recommend someone staying at the hotel as long as they had a vehicle which I did not due to me arriving with a tour group.

This was probably our favorite place to stay in New Zealand. It's out of town so you definitely need a car, but the rooms are HUGE and modern and comfortable and immaculate. Unbelievably quiet at night. Breakfast was fantastic, fresh and delicious with a nice variety. The person who managed check-in was friendly and helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The place was beautiful. Lived up to expectations. I did check in late, and they had taped an envelope with my name to the reception door. Inside the envelope was a key and welcome letter. The letter was informative, but had no obvious notation of my room number. I was perplexed, and unsure of what to do. Thinking it may have been an oversight, I checked a couple of obviously unoccupied rooms, trying my key. This did not work. Upon re-examining the letter, I noticed two small hash marks at the top of the page in the center. There was no other information. Marks were small, but I read them as 11. I checked around and found a room 11, and this indeed was my room. It would have been helpful if they had just written the word ROOM before the hash marks as to me, the hash marks were not obvious as a room number.

Yes, I would return!! You will need a car as a few minutes outside of town but worth the drive. In my case, enjoy the two staff members (German) as they provide superior customer service. They do provide a decent breakfast of boiled eggs, cheese, meat, cereal, fruit, yogurt and coffee!!! Found the rooms large for the area, nice bathroom, and great bed. I had a great stay

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!)
