Check in was handing us a key with no tips or advice. There was the odour of someone’s fried food in the room, leftover frozen vegetables in the fridge. The back patio? was a narrow ally with tables. The beds were soft. One pillow case has a hole in it. Overall it just felt unclean. The bathroom had been redone, but the floor tiles didn’t look clean. We stayed at this overpriced motel as there was nothing else available. I would not recommend it.

The room is spacious, clean and tidy. It is close to the main road but unaffected by any traffic noise. The bed is comfortable. The kitchenette provides enough facilities for you to prepare the meals using microwave. One issue is that the ventilation fan inside the washroom is noisy during operation but can be turned off before going to sleep.

The room is very costly for motel standard. We have booked the room of 1 double + 1 single only to be told this is for 2 pax! Last minute being asked to top up NZD123 to accommodate 2 kids. The room is dated with basic necessities, hot water run out in the middle of shower and the bed is soft with parts sunk in.

The motel is located directly on the main street in town. The room is comfortably furnished and when the temperature is high enough it is possible to sit outside in front of the room.

The hotel facilities are average, but they have everything you need. The location is very good, on the main street, very close to the meeting point for glacier hiking, and only 5 minutes walk from the trail where you can see fireflies. The boss is very nice, answering all questions and introducing us to many surrounding attractions. I forgot to mention that the boss is Chinese, and I felt very close to him because he could communicate in Chinese.

The location is excellent, right next to the glacier hiking meeting point. The manager is Chinese, which is convenient

The hotel is in a great location, close to the firefly trail and helicopter company. The room is big, the owner is Chinese, and the service is very good.
