Great stay!
We loved our 2 night family stay here. Better than we expected from a 'motel'; the rooms were modern, clean, and roomy. Close to restaurants. We'd stay here again and recommend!

Great stay, super easy to load luggage in and out as you can back right up to sliding door. Walkable to shops and restaurants, beds were comfy, tv’s a tad small but did the job.

Stay here
It was great- the owners are lovely and incredibly accommodating and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The location was excellent for access to Franz Josef activities and restaurants. It’s a five minute walk to the town center, if that. Highly recommend a stay here.

Good choice in FJ
Nice place to stay. Kitchen is well-equipped but a little bit small (but still suitable to cook a simple dinner). Premise is nice, owners are very nice as well.

We had a great stay here. The rooms were very clean and comfortable.
The highlight of the stay were the managers, Graham and Sheryl, who told us about a partial road closure and helped us plan our trip south. They also suggested which walks to do around the area, and gave us tips about dining in town.
Highly recommend a stay here.
