We accidentally got locked out of our camper and by 10 pm realized we were not getting back in until the morning. We booked online, walked to the hotel, they sent someone to get us checked in so we were able to sleep somewhere warm.

Having a microwave AND an electric skillet was a strong plus. Beds were comfortable and room dated but clean. The only negative was the shower which was wheelchair accessible. Because of the bathroom floor slope, certain positions of the detachable shower head could lead to water heading toward the door and not the drain. Given the warped wood at the bottom of the bathroom door, this problem occurs regularly. Check-in was fast and clerk courteous.

We asked for better pillows as the pillows were flat as pancakes and there wasn’t a selection in the room, it seemed to be a hassle to the staff at the front desk when asked for better pillows, the room was clean and comfortable and well equipped

Plumbing issues. Signs stated that before drinking water needed to be boiled as there is virus and bacteria in the town water. Water smelt strange and effected the drinking and showering as well as pathetic water pressure. After speaking to a few of the locals and businesses it was confirmed it was only the motels plumbing rather than the whole town. No fresh drinking water was provided. Had trouble locking the sliding front door. Reception un manned most of the time. Towels provided were ripped and torn, Didnt feel overly clean, furniture needed updating as the couch was old and collapsed. Overall very underwhelming. Would not stay there again.

Hôtel tout à fait correct pour un court séjour de passage. Bien équipé. Peu d’interactions avec le personnel de l’hôtel, uniquement à la récupération des clés.

We had to park a long way from our room, which was inconvenient when we loaded up to leave in the rain and the facilities are bare minimum, so can not recommend if there are other options available.

Arrived late and staff had left key in our room for us to check in which was a bit odd but it was around 9:00 PM when we arrived. We discovered on arrival that there was a boil notice in effect so no water unless we boiled it and even then that is not an appealing option. No prior notice of the boil and no water left in room to help out people who are surprised and now have no way to get water. Rooms were large but a bit run down. We were in NZ for two weeks and this was our least favorite stay. We were safe and had a place to sleep. Best part was the silly Kea parrot that tried to follow us into our room. Those are some goofy birds.

Convenient for Fox Glacier
Convenient for Fox Glacier. Easy to find and parking in front of every unit. Had to boil water from tap before drinking. Beds ok. Ventilation poor. Was very hot in the room. No aircon. Lovely surrounding countryside. Neighbours’ noise very audible.

The room was very loud. Paper-thin walls to adjacent rooms. Water was untreated when we were there so had to boil before using. Very inconvenient. I don’t think that was the property’s fault but they didn’t notify us at all in advance, so it was an unexpected surprise. Fox glacier is a very small town—only one grocery store that closes at 6pm daily.

The staff, a Chinese young man (forgot to ask his name) is very friendly and helpful. He introduced the small town to us, like where to go for what, when we first checked in. The room is spacious and clean, good for 3 of us. -=
