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.

Nice and quiet and the owners were friendly and helpful. A bit out of town and the internet signal was a bit poor. Room was clean and comfortable.

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.
