Hotel Dengan parking di West Coast, New Zealand

We were greeted with warm hospitality by the owner Angela when we arrived to check into Franz Josef Oasis. The executive king suite room was clean, cosy and spacious. We enjoyed sitting on the sofas with warm blankets place for our comfort near the fireplace. The location of this place is also good as it 5 minutes drive to the town where we had a delicious dinner at Blue Ice Restaurant and Bar which was recommended to us by Angela. The service is excellent and I will definitely recommend this place to those who are travelling to Franz Josef !

Maybe it's the off-season, so there weren't many guests. The biggest plus was the very new bathroom. The room was small, and there were no kitchen facilities. A small fridge hung awkwardly over the sink, which was really inconvenient. The closet was so packed with an ironing board and other items that there was hardly any space to hang clothes.

The room was old and musty. The facilities are poor, there is no restaurant, and you have to drive to another motel restaurant nearby to eat (although there is a 10% discount). Parking is very convenient, just parked at the door of the room.

The hotel is great within walking distance to the train station for Tranzalpine, restaurant in the hotel offer awesome food and drink, the room is slightly basic with no air conditioning, however it has a fan and a heater

The staff were super efficient and friendly. I met Sandler and Daniel, and they have been super kind and giving me advice for hiking tracks They are always the first to rise, making sure everything is ready.

I arrived pretty late that night and I have no issue in finding my room. The room was prepared perfectly with the heater on beforehand, so it kept me warm really well. The bathroom was soo spacious that you could literally dance inside. Well sorry I forgot to capture the room only the reception haha.

The apartment we stayed in was quite new and felt pleasant. Rooms are quite spacious and clean. The Kitchen was new and well equiped. It’s in a small township near Fox Glacier. There was a view point, which was about a few minutes driver from the motel, where the view of the snow peaks and glacier was spectacular. It is also not far from Franz Joseph glacier.

Rimu Lodge was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, the owner, Sue Allen, made us feel incredibly welcome. Our room was beautifully decorated and offered a breathtaking view, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully curated—from the fresh milk for our tea and coffee to the complimentary drinks and chocolates, all adding to the sense of warmth and hospitality. Breakfast was exceptional, with a delicious selection of cooked options to choose from. The entire experience was nothing short of wonderful. I highly recommend staying for at least two nights to fully appreciate the charm and comfort of this remarkable lodge.

Super place to stay set amongst beautiful NZ native trees ,incredibly clean/immaculate facilities and cabins, and an easy 10-15 min walk to town. Close to the stunning North beach of Westport too. Very warm, friendly and helpful host who gave us some great pointers to places for tea in Westport. An exceptionally clean with incredibly well maintained grounds holiday park, we enjoyed our stay thank you. Our A frame cabin was great. We were a bit slack as forgot our own bowls/cutlery which were very helpfully loaned to us by our hosts. So remember to take your own crockery and cutlery, cooking bits and bobs. Super comfie, super tidy and super clean!

It is alright, but not great - certainly it is worn around the edges. It is the first place I stayed in during my 3 week holiday with no fridge... So much for the by now warm riggers of beer I bought at breweries en route. The service was never with any kind of smile. The food in their restaurant was adequate and the beer was, to my taste, bland and unexciting. Staying here is not a disaster, but nor is it memorable. For the amount they must make (the room was not inexpensive) they could and should do better. But I guess it is a captive market in season, and ”just about good enough” is all they need to bother with.
