Welcome

We invite you to share with us our modern, purpose built Franz Josef Glacier Village accommodation. Our motel provides quality 4 star family and studio accommodation nestled beneath the mighty Southern Alps on the magnificent West Coast of New Zealand. Just over the tree lined horizon, the powerful Franz Josef Glacier continues to carve this magnificent landscape.

Experience Glacier region up close and personal with some of the quality guided activities or if you prefer to journey at your own speed there are many quality bush walks to enjoy.

We are located just a minuites walk from the hike and flight opperators, and just a hop to the Glacier Hot pools. Evening dinning is available at a range of reasturants including the Alice May bar and Reasturant next door.

Check out our winter promotion two night Bed, Breakfast, Dinner and Paddle combo.
