Good location near the Firefly Trail, close to shops and vendors, and parking in front of the door.
Small like all cabins, curtains could be sturdier. All in all, I would book it again.

Nothing to write home about ! Clean convenient small rooms and decent kitchen / living room. I have not doubt it is the brand vision and it’s executed well. Understaffed at peak weekend check in ; entry check in area too small for all the people waiting to check in . I would move all the unnecessary furniture in that small area and hire a 2nd person for park checkins. There is a kiosk but you can’t even get to it when the reception area is full of people queuing ! Maybe some CX re thinking to do . Room was not clean at all when it was assigned. It happens I guess when hostel busy and only 1 staff on. Outdoor area needs work ! It’s summer and could not enjoy any of it . Franz Josef destination overall not worry stopping at; Fox glacier much nicer .

The town is very small. Apart from the self-driving motel, there is a luxury rainforest hotel and youth hostel haka. This haka is newly opened. In addition to the bed room, there are also ordinary rooms with bathrooms. It is generally new and the facilities are basic but sufficient. The kitchen and common lounge are quite large. It is orderly and clean even when full.
Recommended to stay overnight in the town.
Facilities: Complete, there is also a sauna room
Hygiene: basically new and clean
Environment: Surrounded by rainforest environment, not far from the main National Highway 6, convenient for viewing glaciers and hiking
Service: It is basic, no service is needed

Because it was New Year's Day, we didn't clean at all. I understand the situation, but the price was more expensive. I would have understood if the price had been cheaper.
