Our room had comfortable queen bed and single bed. Basic kitchen with toaster, kettle, fridge, microwave and dishes etc which was handy. Location was good for Lake Matheson and Fox Glacier. Big windows, heated up quickly, very basic and comfortable.

Location is a bit out of town, but walking distance to the best restaurant in town. It was a good location for me to tour the area from. The room was large and had a great view off the patio.

Great place to stay
We’ve traveled New Zealand for three weeks. This hotel is by far the most realistic from pictures on their site. Staff is SO friendly and helpful, just awesome. Be sure to do the glow worm walk! We’d definitely stay again.
