Positive, I stayed in a Studio for 1 night. The room was large, clean, and had a huge window surrounded by dense foliage-felt like being in a treehouse! The receptionist was super helpful, providing us with an umbrella and guiding us to the nearby glacier hike. A fantastic stay!

The stay was just what I needed for a short getaway to experience the beautiful surroundings and hiking trails. The room was spacious, with a comfortable king-size bed and a cozy gas fireplace that warmed up our chilly evenings. It was lovely to relax on the private deck, tucked away in the native bush. I particularly appreciated the quick check-in process and the valuable tips on local walks and attractions shared by the staff.

The room was large and comfortable, featuring a cozy fireplace that enhanced the overall atmosphere during my stay. The helpful staff provided an excellent check-in experience and shared valuable tips about local attractions. The motel's convenient location allowed easy access to nearby amenities and stunning views of nature from the patio.
The walls between rooms are thin, leading to some noise disturbances.

Loved the beautiful view from the room that had a cozy gas fireplace. The spacious one-bedroom suite offered a living room area with an extra single bed. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were super helpful, sharing tips on local activities. The entire place felt clean and inviting. However, the couch in the living area wasn't the most comfortable, which made lounging a bit less enjoyable. Also, carrying luggage up to the second floor might be tricky if you have heavy bags.

This was just a fitting option for a brief retreat in Franz Josef with great value for the money. The electrically heated blankets kept us warm during chilly nights, which was a nice touch. Bring your own water, as the town had a boil water notice when we visited.

great space but lacked comfort
The one-bedroom apartment was surprisingly spacious with all the necessary kitchen equipment. The warmth from the cozy fireplace made the evenings pleasant, enhancing relaxation after a day of hikes. I truly enjoyed the garden view that offered a peaceful backdrop during my stay, making it feel like a private retreat.
The couch could use more comfort for extended lounging.

great ambiance but minor pitfalls
The room I stayed in was spacious, featuring a comfortable king-size bed and a nice leather sofa. I appreciated the gas fireplace, which added warmth on a rainy afternoon, creating a cozy atmosphere. The private deck felt like a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush greenery, making it perfect for unwinding with a book. Plus, I enjoyed the lovely garden view, which enhanced the peaceful feel of the stay.
However, the couch could use more comfort for longer lounging.

We loved the spaciousness of our one-bedroom apartment, making it perfect for our family. The kids really enjoyed the warm and inviting atmosphere—especially with the fireplace on a chilly evening. The staff provided helpful tips on local tours and the scenic glacier hot pools nearby.
For dads, it would be great if the couch was comfier for family movie nights.
