The kitchen facility of the motel is lackluster with minimal utensils. The motel room is dark. The beds are too soft.

We stayed here one night when we were on our way to drive further down the south island. The staff heated our room with the heater prior to our arrival. When we checked in, the room feels cozy and warm compared to the cold weather outside. The room has a kitchen equipped with portable electric stoves, plates, and cooking utensils etc. The bathroom also has bathtub with spa/jet. We tried using the spa and they are amazing! The property is within walking distance (2-3 minutes) of restaurants and activity options. We almost got stuck in Franz Josef due to floods and road closure. The staff was quite understanding, when we discussed we may stay longer than our initial booking.
