"The room was very large but it seemed like a time warp experience, The unit has not been updated in a good while, which was surprising due to the price. The room was nicely stocked although we did not use the kitchette. The mattress is ready to be replaced. "

5/5 Excellent

"THIS PLACE IS EPIC!! Excellent! 100 stars. Stay HERE! Go HERE! Choose HERE! Omgosh where to start. ….. first of all the staff were LOVELY, so welcoming and warm and kind. And- get this- Free home made muffins handed to us upon check in!!!! They were delicious. Next, we were shown to our room, small, but very clean and cute. We did two twin beds and bathroom across hall. Bathroom was shiny and clean with hair dryer, straightener, shampoo and body wash. Towels- crisp white. So nice. It gets better… there is a shared kitchen and living / dining area. The night we arrived there was complimentary veggie soup! The kitchen is so clean - and has everything : three stoves, all the pots, pans and dishes one could dream of. There was a microwave, air frier( yes!! For real!) , I think I even saw a crepe maker 😆. The coffee was to die for. They had a cappuccino machine, but it used fresh ( real) milk, not this fake stuff. It made any kind of coffee one could imagine- all free! It was so lovely to come down early in the morning and enjoy a really good coffee in the clean quiet welcoming place. I would encourage anyone heading to the Fox Glacier or Franz Josef area to stay here. There was even a little BBQ area and a little weight area, with some machines and feee weights. It was lovely!!!!! We were thrilled ! Thank you!!! "

5/5 Excellent

"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."
