The motel was conveniently located in the small town of Franz Josef, within walking distance to all activities. We were fortunate enough to experience a short helicopter tour, but unfortunately, our 2.5-hour heli-hike tour was canceled due to weather conditions. We also enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour at the Wildlife Center, though heavy rain prevented us from doing any of the short hikes we had planned. The hotel room was clean, but quite small for two beds, with little space to store suitcases other than on the second bed. On the plus side, the kitchenette was well-equipped with everything necessary for meal preparation. Overall, it was a good stay for a reasonable price, and we would recommend it for anyone looking to explore the Franz Josef area!

The location of this hotel is perfect! It's within walking distance of the grocery store, restaurants, stores, and several attractions. There are also gorgeous views all around. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful; they informed us of the closing times of the restaurant and grocery store, and were also very informative regarding road closures. Bathroom was very clean and a small kitchen area was in the room as well. The beds were very comfortable and even had mattress heaters for both of them!

Leigh

Great location: walking distance from bus stop, restaurants, supermarket, kiwi center, helicopter rides, glacier and glowworm hikes. The host was quite helpful in providing hike suggestions and restaurant opening times as we arrived on Christmas day. Spacious living room for family activities. The coffee (Robert Harris) provided was particularly nice, much better than those in 4-star hotels later on our trip. Milk was provided from a glass bottle at the reception.

Phuong

The location was great and only a short walk away from all the eateries in town and the grocery store. It's also a short distance away from the meeting point of a lot of adventure activities in Franz Josef. The motel provides small milk bottles which is great for warming up into a coffee or hot chocolate and some biscuits, provided by the motel. The motel also has great heater facilities, keeping the room warm during the colder days.

Location is walking distance to everything in Franz Josef. Bella Vista has its own parking lot but even if it's by some chance full, there's tons of easy to find parking on the street. It was cool to have Kea birds right outside. We received some nice advice and recommendations from the staff, super nice! Overall, this place met our needs for our stay in Franz Josef.
