Absolutely loved our stay. The room was beautiful and just as advertised. Took a bath in the jet tub, felt so good. Comfy bed and linen. Lovely view of NZ nature. And the staff is THE BEST! Our heli tour was canceled so we were earlier than expected. Room was provided early as a courtesy. Upon leaving, there was heavy rain. Our receptionist came outside to collect the room key so that we didn't get wet.

Beautiful property and great modern aesthetic. One of the best hotels i’ve stayed at. Can only speak for the premium rooms, but these are worth snapping up immediately if available for your trip.

This motel doesn’t look impressive from the outside, but the inside was immaculately clean, spacious, and modern. Excellent value, definitely recommend.

10 Cottages was backed up to the wilds and I loved the little individual tiny cottages. Each had their own deck, a spacious bedroom with little dining area and kitchenette (with mini fridge, microwave, and coffee station). The bathroom was very small, and could have taken floor space from the main room.
The place was warm with heated bed as well.
We didn't eat inside. The little patio outside was too cute and the view were wonderful.
We kept the window curtains drawn since our neighbors were...

The room was clean and well-kept. Lots of space, and nice bathroom. Check-in was very easy, and the staff was very helpful in answering our questions. Great option if staying in the Franz Josef area.

Very tidy and warm accommodation, the only one issue during my stay was couldn’t find a towel at all, and reception already closed before 6PM meaning no one to ask.
But I can say fantastic place to stay with overall impression.
