Disliked: Amenities
Staff were courteous, and room was clean. However, some aspects let it down. The units are a lot smaller than they appear in the photographs.We had no.10 and the shower was nothing like as shown on line, it was like something out of the 1950's. The hot tap on the hand basin was loose .and not working and not working

No glacier view but nice big room.

Huge room with kitchen and large bathroom. Very quite and peaceful. Comfy bed and fully equipped kitchen. The only downside is the wifi was very slow.

Friendly reception. Parked car at door. Spacious living area, good shower and toilet room. Very helpful staff. The property is a bit remote and I wouldn’t recommend walking to Franz Joseph as road is busy.

The managers are friendly. It’s a no frills accommodation and has everything you need. Bathroom has been refurbished and everything was clean. Kitchenette had everything you needed to cook simple meals. Had a small heater which did the job. Thank you

The last resort

Upon arrive the place looked derelict. The lawns and gardens were overgrown and in need of mowing and weeding. Checkin consisted of a girl running out and telling us there was a key in the door. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom has been renovated. The furniture looked like it was leftover from the second hand shop. The TV remote didn't work and heating is only a small space heater. There is no houskeeping and the office is only open in the afternoon. It is more than 2 minutes to town.
