6/10 Good

What's not made clear is that the rooms here are next to a campervan park which is part of their complex. Therefore you hear van doors shutting all the time which is disruptive. Noise travels between the walls a bit too. Other than that the room is spacious, clean and comfy with everything you need in terms of amenities. In short, great room, bad setting.

The timber look rooms we stayed in were awesome and the view of the mountains from our room was incredible. Such a lovely town and a short walk to the pub for dinner.

Clean lodge, easy parking, basic kitchen but shared kitchen available next to lodge. We chose to make breakfast and packed lunches and the ate out in the evening. Intermittent WiFi but acceptable. Nice and warm and convenient location for a couple of nights. Quiet location close to the main Street, Cook and Saddle and Betty Jackson’s excellent for evening meal with teens. Added bonus was the glow worm tour from the lodge, very enjoyable.

The apartment was just ok and not terribly clean. Probably better options in Franz Josey with the same access to the attractions around the glacier. Fox glacier was great for walking and sight seeing. would just stay elsewhere if I visit again.

Good service and ammenities. Skylight in the second bedroom made it difficult to sleep as there wasn’t a blind. Pillows were plentiful but all were the same size and quite big, we prefer a flat pillow so didn’t have a great sleep.

8/10 Very good

I think it's a nice enough place. It seemed more primitive with less heat. Combination motel and motorhome place. If it had been rated at an eight out of 10 I probably would have given it a higher rating.
