Really comfortable unit which suited us perfectly for 3 nights. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The site manager was lovely and friendly and helped me when I couldn't work out the TV. We really enjoyed our stay. The helicopter flight over the glaciers was definitely a highlight.

Well done to the hotel staff, Jim, who is passionate and informative to explain to us the procedures of road closure from Wanaka to franz josef thru highway state 6 during the road closure period. We managed to follow the convoy on time and reached the hotel safely. KUDOS!

The cabins are simply and beautifully designed and constructed. The small space doesn’t feel constricted, and the patio allows enjoyment of the outside tranquility comfortably in wet weather.

Looking for a motel?

The Alpine Glacier Hotel was clean and comfortable for our family of four. The receptionist was very lovely and helpful with any of our requests. The motel was a good distance from local stores and restaurants such as Snake Bite Brewery and The Landing and the tourist attractions such as Franz Josef Glaciers and the Fox Glaciers, not too far if you have a car.

I have stayed at Aspen Court once previously. Because I was impressed on the previous stay I automatically booked this motel again. Aspen Court sets a standard for the industry in New Zealand in every possible way. Our unit was warm and spotless on arrival. Our room was generously sized and very well appointed. Beds were super comfortable and cosy and there was a generous supply of extra bedding if required. The kitchen was very adequately supplied with utensils (we cooked our evening meal!) and the bathroom a treat.

This motel is in a fantastic location right in the heart of town. The rooms have an airy and alpine feel with large windows and A frame ceilings. The room came with all the amenities I needed.

Our room was large with a place to eat and two comfortable armchairs to relax in. The bed was comfortable and the heating fine. Location was great and we could walk to restaurants. The whole motel was spotless. Great views of snow topped mountains from the motel.
