The hotel seems new and all the rooms were very clean. There was also a nice little kitchen and a spa bath tub, which we did not find the time to use. Special mention to the kind lady at the reception who was very helpful and informative. Thanks!
We drove to visit the Fox Glacier Walk and the Lake Matheson Trail, which was about half an hour drive away. There were supermarkets nearby in case one planned to cook or dine in at the restaurants.

A beautiful area just outside of Franz Josef. It's nearby the road, so you may get some traffic noise. Other than that, it was a quiet and restful night there. We could see the milky way at night!
We had a studio, so no kitchen but a microwave was available. There's a laundry as well. Wifi was good.
The manager was very friendly and allowed us to fill out campervan with water.

Everything is good except for the shower. It doesn't work at all. The water flows like a foam. I can't wash my hair. Other than that, it's good. There's a kitchen as well. Close to the helicopter that will take you up. Very good.

A good choice as a stop after a day's drive up north along the west coast highway and after a walk around Lake Matheson at the dusk. The motel is easy to locate. Kitchen is well-layout and it will be super if there is an electric stove and pots. The bathroom will be more use-friendly if some hooks are installed on the wall for towels and clothings.

HHuiyaorendetuzi- -Overall it was a particularly good choice near the fox glacier, and all the rooms were fully booked on the day. The cabin is equipped with the kitchen utensils needed, but there is no dishwasher. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a bathroom, which is used in line, but overall it is the best choice.
HHANGThe hotel itself is very comfortable, the parking lot and the room are very large, the bedding quality is good, with a heater, it is not cold in the winter 9 nights. The bathroom has plenty of space in the bathtub and the hot water is warm. There are loungers at the entrance to enjoy the lawn, a small breakfast and homely but enough. However, it is not easy to drive from Queenstown all the way. (Don't open the night road in New Zealand, there are all mountain roads without lights). The location of the hotel is not in the town, a little distance, but it is very close to the glacier on the helicopter. It can catch up in the morning and get a high score.
总总爱自己折腾The hotel is located on the edge of FRANZE GLACIER. It is very convenient to go to the trail the next day to see the glacier. It is very convenient, motel, suite, with kitchen, it feels great!
