    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a motel in a small town close to a beautiful lake. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even going as far as giving us a lift to the bus stop. The motel itself was well-run and maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms. The location was ideal, being close to the village center and within walking distance of several restaurants. The motel also provided cooking facilities in the room, which was a great bonus. The view from the motel was stunning, with the lake just a stone's throw away. The only minor issue was the lack of a lake view from the room, but this was quickly forgotten given all the other positives. I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this motel to anyone visiting the area.

    The motel is conveniently located close to both the stunning Lake Matheson and the breathtaking Fox Glacier, providing easy access to these natural wonders. It is also within walking distance of some charming restaurants, allowing for a pleasant dining experience. Moreover, the motel offers a picturesque view of the majestic mountains from outside the building, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable, with cozy beds and hot showers, ensuring a relaxing stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing valuable advice on exploring the local area.

    The sofas in the motel were a bit small, which may not be ideal for those seeking extra space or comfort.

    Location, cleanliness of room.

    Our towels were taken away, despite being hung up to be re-used. Not really a bad thing, but we were happy to use again.

    Suggest heating be improved - At the price paid would expect airconditioning/heatpumps in the current market. Bar style heaters with fans not really up to standard now days. Other than that yes would reccommend the Motel.

    The location of this place was perfect for our visit to the Minnehaha Walk Walking Trail, just a short walk away.

    Stunning spot near cafes and restaurants, the lake and town center and a Fox Glacier. Large functional room with view over garden. Food was good, staff was very very helpful.

    Wi-Fi signal was not good.

    A nice way to end my trip. Reasonably large and functional room with extremely comfy bed and smoke detectors for safety measures. Early check-in and good service. Not to mention free wifi! Location just next door to would be a fair hike to get to the lake, fox glacier and lake Mathesion and the local restaurants / shops. And a 5-minute walk from Fox Glacier...
