Room was pleasant and although just out of town it was easy access to Franz Joseph township. Staff and amenities were good laundry available. No sink for washing up, small vanity for that purpose.

6/10 Good

Staff were courteous, and room was clean. However, some aspects let it down. The units are a lot smaller than they appear in the photographs.We had no.10 and the shower was nothing like as shown on line, it was like something out of the 1950's. The hot tap on the hand basin was loose .and not working and not working

No glacier view but nice big room.

Huge room with kitchen and large bathroom. Very quite and peaceful. Comfy bed and fully equipped kitchen. The only downside is the wifi was very slow.

Friendly reception. Parked car at door. Spacious living area, good shower and toilet room. Very helpful staff. The property is a bit remote and I wouldn’t recommend walking to Franz Joseph as road is busy.
