Room is spacious and the bathroom is very nice with heated floor and towel rack. However, the timer for the heated floor made very loud clicking sounds throughout the night. Otherwise it is a cozy little spot.

We were unable to stay at the property because the rooms had not been cleaned by housekeeping in readiness for our booked arrival. We had to find accommodation elsewhere.

An overnight stop to visit the Franz Josef Glacier. Motel was comfortable but the room was a bit tight. No dining or breakfast facilities but the town has adequate options.

We had 2 nights at The Terrace. The location is good and parking easy. We were allocated an access room ( don’t know why) but it was ideal for our needs. The WI-FI is non existent at this location so being unlimited means nothing.
