Fantastic apartment - great facilities - superb hosts ... location right around the corner from the petrol station and the town's main street. Couldn't have done more for us - despite the dreadful weather. Highly recommended. More

Stayed here at the beginning of April. Everything was better than expected, Mark was very welcoming and helpful on check in, room was huge and the bed was very comfortable. Walked out the sliding door onto the deck to have alpine views was perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Franz Josef. More

The apartment accommodation for four was excellent, but as there was only one bathroom and certain members of our party felt that we needed two we were given an additional apartment on our second night at no extra charge. Brilliant customer service! The facilities for regrouping on a long trip were excellent - washing machines, driers etc. This was a... More

Thank you guys. Your welcome was fantastic and the room you allocated to us was so well appointed and really comfortable. We travelled extensively in New Zealand and we felt at home from the moment we arrived. Hopefully, one day we will be back! More

Rooms are very clean, comfortable and have a mini-kitchen. the real plus was the jacuzzi room (great to lounge in after a long touring walk0 as well as a washer/dryer for your use. Mark was especially helpful with various recommendations on things to do. Next door is the Blue Ice Cafe (upstais) has good food, music and free pool table. More

We stayed at the Lodge when there was bad weather and so cannot comment on the views. Room was quite well appointed although lots of small things did not work well, e.g. TV remote control, table lamps, front door lock, spa bath (slow to fill) and shower. Spacious room though and very comfortable bed. Staff very helpful and accommodating.. More

My wife and I stayed at the Alpine Glacier Motel while visiting our son in Franz Josef Glacier. We were delighted by the large, comfortable clean room, the cheerful assistance we received from the reception desk, and the central location. We would certainly stay there again. More

The bedroom and the bathroom were very spacious, clean, bright and modern. Heating in the room was no problem at all and although the Motor Lodge had many guests we did... More
