Alpine Glacier Motel

Stay 2 nights here. We arrived at the motel quite late and they prepare the key already in front of our room for late check in. Location is perfect. You can just walk to the centre. But it is just small city anyway. Restaurant is nearby. Supermarket also near too, but note they are close at 7pm. Petrol station also just next to the motel. We love our room! Just nice they provide everthing. Small kitchen to cook your food was perfect for us. They also have laundry facility with additional cost. The receptionist also friendly.

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!

Second time we have stayed, this time with the kid and was just as good as last time. Good price, kitchen had everything, warm and quiet. Nice walk to all the restaurants. Great entertainment with the Keas on the roof and trying to get into the outside bins.

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.

This is a good motel in a convenient location, close to everything. The room is a nice size and comes with useful kitchenware and a small deck, which were great touches. I chose the room with a spa tub, which is really worth it, especially after a hike. While it wasn’t spotless, it was reasonably clean and comfortable overall. The WiFi could definitely use an upgrade, but considering the price I paid, I think it was well worth it.
