Fantastic spacious rooms with plush carpet and well equiped kitchen. Couch was huge and comfy. Beds comfortable with beautiful large windows, mountain and hill views. Easy access to glacier lookout and lake.
This is an amazing motel. We always stay here. It’s super clean, modernized, fabulous view and great people. On top of that it’s dog friendly. Very underrated. You won’t regret staying here.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We liked that the motel is near the town centre so getting our daily supplies was easy and is also nearer to Lake Matheson. The motel is a little dated which is understandable based on the value we got from the stay.
There were 2 guard dogs (one black and one brown) that roam around the motel. The doggos were adorable and well-trained. Some visitors may not be comfortable with the dogs but we were fine with their company.
Great view of Mt Cook and Fox glacier from room. Clean and tidy, friendly staff, basic necessary amenities.
View of the Mt cook and Fox Glacier is the highlight of the property.
Great old-fashioned motel on road to Lake Matheson. Owner super friendly and motel surrounds quiet and private. Check-in and checkout hassle free. Would recommend.
Nice kitchen and good view of Mount Cook from the motel! We were greeted by a horse when we arrived. Clean, quiet, and a good heating system, which kept us warm indoors during a cold autumn day.
Really enjoyed this spot, the host (including the dogs) were lovely. Great price, great place, amazing views, Matthew (our host) was a great guy who treated us well. Overall, we highly recommend it.
