Top Whataroa Hotel Reviews

Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was super easy. It made my day to be greeted by to 2 sweet and gentle dogs. They will come to check in on you and get a few pets before heading to the next guest. The room was nice and although we were only there one night the accommodations would have be excellent for a longer stay."

Punga Grove

8/10 Good

"When I asked for a quiet room due to sleeping disorder, the staff kindly accommodated my request by upgrading our room. The man was very helpful."

Sunset Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for an overnight stay …. Nice vista out the multiple glazed windows Highly recommend"

Franz Josef Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious clean room and bathroom. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Continental breakfast was much appreciated as was the automated coffee machine and wide tea selection. Great to have two luggage frames and heated towel rail which could fit two towels! Extra toiletry items were appreciated. Off road parking outside unit. Short drive to town centre."

Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nice with many dining options within walking distance. The rooms provided good heating and was a comfortable stay."

Rainforest Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay in the Rainforest motel. Andy is a great host who made us feel very welcome. We sadly, were only there for one night, as we were passing through on our way to Queenstown, however if we are lucky enough to return to NZ we would definitely stay here for a few nights. The property is comfortable, clean and the unit we had was updated and had a great new bathroom / wet room. The whole motel complex has such a relaxed feel about it and we have no doubt recommending it as a great place to stay. Thank you Andy and staff ."

8/10 Good

"Staff friendly enough however when we went to ask some more information questions the office was closed, even though their office hours indicated they would be open! Room comfortable, warm & quiet. Handy to walk anywhere in town. A nice stay"
