"Liked the room and availability of kitchen/supplies however no a/c was disappointing. Luckily there was a fan and not a hot day/evening"

"The 2 bed unit was a good size and reasonably clean and comfortable with the exception of the very hard beds. There is a notice telling you not to cook smelly meals and if you did you would incur a fee. Shame about the smelly bin which had not been cleaned before a new bin bag had been added, so that caused a smell. The units are on top of each other with large windows all around and no blinds or net curtains, so when in the unit you had to keep the curtains closed otherwise it felt like you were in a goldfish bowl. There is no ironing board and iron in the unit, you have to request from reception. This was difficult on times as you had to catch the receptionist when she was actually in reception, which was only when new guests arrived. This is not a retreat, as there is a busy road around it, which woke us up around 7:00am wach morning. This was certainly the idyllic location we envisaged. "

"Great beds, shower. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Laundry is available as a service rather than onsite equipment. "

"Good location"

"Easy to get to and park. We were 4 adults in a self contained unit, the extra beds had an unusual access through the main bedroom. The provision of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils was average to poor. And eating in the common cooking areas required you to have your own crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Close enough to walk into Fox Glacier village or an easy 2 minute drive. "

"Booked based on photos of hotel with chilled bar area. Very surprised to find they do not open the bar area outside of restaurant hours. At 8.45 pm wanting a nightcap they told us to go to a local bar. May as well have stayed in one of the local motels or airbnb. Basically an expensive motel with a restaurant."

"Room was clean and very quiet period staff was good and attentive. Not much of a glacier to see upon the 30-minute walk to the glacier."

"Clean room. Nice staff. Common area very useful if you want to bring your own food. Free popcorn and soup.Close to all restaurants and shops. Only thing we didn't like as much is the bathroom sink is too small. "

"Location was great. The bed room, communal bathroom, shower, kitchen, are all very clean. The bed was comfortable. "
