Alpine Glacier Motel

Staying in Franz Josef is pure bliss! Our accomodation has been a delight. 😊 The manager, Anthony went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. His team are amazing! 👏 Our room is always clean and tidy, featuring a comfortable bed. Additionally, there's a well- equipped kitchenette. The Alpine Motel is situated just a stone's throw away from town, means conveniently located. We've extended our initial 16 day stay by a week. We are still here enjoying every moment! The destination is Franz Josef and the accommodation is Alpine Motel!

Stayed two nights. Good location in centre of Franz Josef, short walking distance to everything you need - tour providers, supermarket, restaurants, petrol station, West Coast Wildlife Centre and several walking trails etc. Allocated parking, clean room, comfortable bed, hot water, decent facilities (microwave, tea and toast making facilities.) and the heater kept the room warm and toasty. Parking can be a bit tight for bigger vehicles (may require some maneuvering), but we had no issues parking a sedan.

We loved our stay! It was just what we needed, somewhere to crash before we carry on driving the west coast. The room was cosy, clean and warm. It had everything you needed. The little toiletries were lovely and the fresh milk for tea/coffee/hot chocolate! You even had a toaster and good sized fridge to make snacks. The price we paid was so affordable with parking right outside our room and even a smart tv to hook up our Netflix! Our room didn’t have a glacier view which didn’t bother us as we arrived in the dark and only stayed one night but when you walk round to where reception is you could see the Franz Josef glacier!

A lovely light filled studio room, with a single bed as well as a queen. Functional kitchenette with plug-in twin hot plates and well appointed for a comfortable over-night stay. Large wet-area shower in a big bathroom and a really nice range of toiletries available. The motel is centrally located in the town with an easy walk to eateries, bars and other tourist attractions or head-offices, to meet at before beginning your outdoor adventures of choice. Happy to recommend and return to on another occasion

The Alpine Glacier Motel is well situated in the Franz Josef Glacier village, within walking distance to all the eateries, the helicopter landing area and adventure booking offices. Anthony was the duty manager when we arrived and he is very professional, helpful and friendly as are all the staff there. The room was exceptionally clean and with all the necessary items for a self catering stay. Our room had a small decking out the back from which you could see the snow capped mountains. We had a wonderful and momentous stay.
