For the price, this place was good for an overnight stop. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable - we got a great night's sleep. A bit basic amenity-wise. The glacier viewpoint further along the road is very good. Book a table for dinner at one of the village eateries if you want to dine early.

Room is clean and spacious, including working kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals, and a big bathroom. Friendly staff. Worth mentioning that the motel is located between the highway and a train line, which can be noisy at times.

Could be such a beautiful place but a bit run down. Great views of glacier. Needs TLC, small things like TV not working and by looking at previous reviews seems to have been not working for 2 months, no coffee in room, gardens and exterior looks unkept, broken chair in room. Still however, ok for a 1 night stopover with nothing else available.

Clean room but the whole place needs updating, and sooner rather than later. Small tweaks would improve it : better in room kitchen, there was an unsafe tap; tidy up the grounds, we had a view of an abandoned motel; get a new sign up. And finally, consider opening up the on site restaurant. There is a fantastic view of Mount Cook from here, the motel should make more of it. I wouldn't recommend staying here in it's present state.

This place gives a terrible impression from the road - grass and weeds 30-40cm high. Almost enough to make us go elsewhere. However, the young lady on reception was very welcoming and helpful - taking our bags in for us. The room was quite a surprise - very spacious, very clean and couldn’t fault it. The TV didn’t work and reading other reviews this seems to be a long running situation. The owners need to invest a bit of time and effort into the presentation of this place and it would be a wonderful place to stay.
