Very efficient, clean and comfortable motel with everything you need. We cooked dinner every night of our stay and had all the utilities needed. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the location superb. The management was also always available to help and gave us great information for the continued route to Queenstown. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Nice motel in good location. we stayed in the building located in the third row from the road. it was very quiet and our patio looked out directly into the rainforest. also we were upgraded and our room had a gas fireplace. we didn't feel like we were in a motel, more like in the hotel, it was very nice and quiet. also I want to mention the super nice receptionist, she was very welcoming. The motel felt much better than on photos and than we were expected, we really loved our stay.

Our two bedroom apartment was very clean and comfortable. The motel is a 5 minute walk from the bus stop and has fantastic views from the outdoor patios. The host is wonderful and very helpful. He offered to drive us to the glacier viewing platform which was 10 kilometres away as we didn’t have a car. So kind!

All motels in Franz Josef

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The Alpine Glacier Hotel was clean and comfortable for our family of four. The receptionist was very lovely and helpful with any of our requests. The motel was a good distance from local stores and restaurants such as Snake Bite Brewery and The Landing and the tourist attractions such as Franz Josef Glaciers and the Fox Glaciers, not too far if you have a car.

    I have stayed at Aspen Court once previously. Because I was impressed on the previous stay I automatically booked this motel again. Aspen Court sets a standard for the industry in New Zealand in every possible way. Our unit was warm and spotless on arrival. Our room was generously sized and very well appointed. Beds were super comfortable and cosy and there was a generous supply of extra bedding if required. The kitchen was very adequately supplied with utensils (we cooked our evening meal!) and the bathroom a treat.

    This motel is in a fantastic location right in the heart of town. The rooms have an airy and alpine feel with large windows and A frame ceilings. The room came with all the amenities I needed.

    Our room was large with a place to eat and two comfortable armchairs to relax in. The bed was comfortable and the heating fine. Location was great and we could walk to restaurants. The whole motel was spotless. Great views of snow topped mountains from the motel.
