Lovely hotel. Great location. Stunning views. Great breakfast. The only downside was that there was a large wet stain outside our room in the corridor with an awful unpleasant smell. Advised staff who seemed unaware of it. It appeared to us to have been a long standing leak with that dreadful odour. Hopefully, they will have it fixed for the next guests.
Featuring views of the surrounding mountains, Alpine Glacier Motel offers spacious units with smart tv, modern bathrooms, and heating.

An excellent location for this motel, nice and central within Frank Josef township. A nice spacious living area meant it was comfortable and relaxing spending some time here. A very nice touch for them to provide a little bit of breakfast for the morning.

Location was great - easy to walk to everything.
Apartment was clean and spacious with good amenities.
Would have preferred a settee instead of a second bed. Only 1 armchair.

Lovely compact unit with all you need for a retreat from the roadtrip or those arduous activities around Franz Josef Town. Staff were exceptional. Easy walking distance to the whole town. Restaurants and cafes just metres away.

We dined at the Landing restaurant.
We dined at the Landing restaurant. Very good, busy and lively atmosphere, with friendly service, many tables were reserved. Big platefuls of great food, so bring your appetite. Easy parking in Franz, as would be expected. Especially after QT!! The walk to the glacier viewing platform from the car-park shouldn't be underestimated for anyone who is infirm or unfit. But it's worth it for the view when you get there. The west coast road is delightful to drive. But note that there was road clearing operations which literally closed the road north of Haast for a couple of hours! Take heed of any warning signs!

Lots of walking trails towards the glacier but sadly we were not able to do any walking as it was raining hard and steady during our stay.
Enjoyed a delicious meal at “Alice May” restaurant only 5-10 minute walk from hotel.

Great area for outdoor activities with plenty to do and experience. We did several local DOC walks (i.e., Tatare Falls and Callery Gorge) and undertook an amazing helicopter flight with Glacier Country Helicopters - Pilot’s Choice (35 minutes duration). The Landing was a great place to dine.

We love that all the hotels, restaurants, cafes and activities are all within walking distance. All the staff that we have met for our helicopter ride and hike were excellent and so friendly! It is a very relaxing place yet fun to be having a holiday at Franz Josef. But I do wish you could review the restaurant pricing as they are very steep. With all the holidaymakers in the area, all need to eat and drink so no need to charge so high...i think you will invite more tourists to the area if prices of food are less expensive.

We stayed there because I am a keen bird photographer and I wanted to visit the Whataroa bird sanctuary. We initially only booked 3 nights but there is so much to do around there we extended it to 5. while there we went to lake Matherson, Fox Glacier, a beautiful bush walk especially down the moraine track, Franz Joseph Glacier not visible due to mist and Okarito which has a beautiful coast and large lagoon but unfortunately the weather was not great so next time.

Hotel is in an amazing location, which was why we chose it. We only stayed two nights but managed to do everything we wanted to in the area. The main one being the Franz Josef heli hike. Hotel restaurant was very good and the all inclusive dinner & breakfast (which I hadn't realised at the time of booking) was a bonus.
