Pros:

Beautiful property, very large clean room with a fireplace and comfortable chairs. Small dining area. Nice View to large garden area and mountains. Good breakfast buffet. Friendly staff and free parking.

The bathroom, while large could be a little better equipped. Heater was a bit noisy.

Very nice accommodation very close to Franz Josef town ......
Pros:

Although the motel is slightly outside of town, we didn't mind the 5min drive. Even without a car, there are some restaurants which will arrange pickup from the motel so this shouldn't be a big issue. There are many good restaurants in town which mostly do not take reservations, so just arrive early and have a drink before enjoying a good meal. The staff at the motel from check-in, housekeeping and check-out were extremely friendly which is important after driving across South Island for a month. Although the motel provided breakfast until 9:00am, we definitely did not wake up that early for it which is a shame. We would definitely recommend this motel!

Cons:

Wish the breakfast hours could be extended as 8-9am is quite limited (and too early).....

The rooms were like new beautifully decorated. Great quality mattress and pillows. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus although very basic. A little out of town 5 or 6 mins so a car is essential. Staff very friendly especially Angela. Definitely recommended.

Lovely motel, let down a little by its breakfast offer.
Pros:

Lovely location and comfortable, high quality rooms. Excellent views of the mountains. Easy parking. Nice staff.

Cons:

The breakfast was very basic and disappointing. A relatively small upgrade would have made our stay even more enjoyable. The coffee from the machine was terrible. Avoid! The ‘fruit’ came out of a tin. The bread was of the cheap, sliced variety. The yoghurt was sweetened rather than natural. Not great.
