Room with kitchen and bathroom was okay. Basin tap hot and cold was separate so need to mix the water manually, this can improved. It’s located in middle of all glaciers, very convenient to visit the most pristine glacier around it.

Unfortunately it was really cold when we went and the heater wasn’t powerful enough to heat the room up much. Really cute looking place though

The Lodge is in a beautiful location. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, though simple. The shared cooking facilities were less inviting but provided adequate equipment.

A night stay.
It was a good place to stop over as we were driving from Franz Josef to Queenstown. The room did not have wifi. We have to go to the reception or another location to get wifi which is not so convenient. And beware as there were a lot of bees flying around. My friend was stung on his foot when he wore his shoe.

Check in wasn't as friendly of an experience as I would have hoped. I'm in the middle of nowhere and have never stayed there before. I kind of felt like I was wasting their time a bit, but the restaurant staff were amazing! Other than that, we absolutely loved the stay and will book again if down this way.

I loved studio #2 because of the double tubs. It was lovely to take a bath and star gaze. It was what I expected. The bed was super comfortable and having robes was truly amazing.
