Although we stayed mainly in bed and breakfast places whilst touring New Zealand we chose the Alpine Glacier motel on this occasion as it is handily placed for visiting the Franz Joseph Glacier. It is relatively reasonably priced for a prime tourist area. The motel was full but reception staff were friendly and attentive both on arrival and departure. Our room (a deck studio) was spacious, comfortable, pleasantly furnished and decorated and had all that we needed for self-catering (which we did on this occasion). We had a distant view of the glacier from our deck. The motel's laundry facilities were good with no charge (and detergent provided) for use of the washer and only a small charge for use of the dryer. The motel is near the village centre so only a short walk to shops and restaurants but we found it to be quiet during our stay.
