Warm, clean, quiet

From a friendly welcoming to amazingly clean facilities Aspen Court Franz Josef has it all. Great location, extremely quiet and very clean and comfortable rooms with fully stocked kitchen facilities and excellent heating. Appreciate the friendly host having our room all warm and ready to go when we arrived.

Superb review, thank you Lisa. Take care on your West Coast travels and we would love to see you back with us one day in the future.

We overnighted, breaking our journey through the Haast to Wanaka. A very cosy welcoming stay. An easy walk to restaurants for dinner and a ChargeNet charger across the road, perfect! I highly recommend.

Thanks, Thelma, for your review and your lovely comments. Great to have you staying with us.

Returning visit

Aspen Court is a very comfortable and luxurious place to stay – whether for one night or more. We stayed previously several years ago for our wedding anniversary during the winter months and found the rooms welcoming – warm and spacious. This time it was for a single night to break the journey home from further south. We were not disappointed on our return in the facilities or high standards in the accomodation.

Thank you Sue for your review and for coming to stay with us once more. Great stuff, All the best.

My wife and I and another couple stayed in an apartment in February 2023. We were impressed on how clean the apartment was coupled with a great shower, spa bath and kitchen. Also, close to several restaurants nearby.

Thank you, Tom, for your nice review. We hope you had a wonderful time travelling around New Zealand. All the best.

Great Stay

Everything was good, looked to be organised for winter with central heating.

Hi Yvonne, yes, we are nice and warm in winter with our radiators and boiler system. Thanks for the review.

We stayed 1 night and really enjoyed everything in the motel. High standard facilities give us relaxing stay after a long-distance driving. Peter and Pam very friendly and helpful. Definitely we would like to stay again and recommended to friends and others.

Thank you, Anne, for your review. Safe travels on your holiday.

Very clean and Excellent service

There were 2 other families who booked with us as we were all doing the Heli Hike tour. The room (bed/bathroom/) had a modern look. Beddings were clean and comfy. Service was excellent. I couldn’t fault it. Very good value for the money. Plus it’s across from the Heli hike touring company and short distance to cafes and nice restaurants.

Thank you, Marianne, for your nice review. Hopefully the weather was good for you as well. Cheers.

Wonderful

We only stayed one night, but the room was wonderful. We loved the “fern garden” outside the bedroom window! Front desk was super helpful and pleasant, and we were a short walk to everything. Would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends.

Thanks Pam, next time you will have to stay longer. Cheers.

Excellent choice We would highly recommend the Aspen Court Motel, great location, super fast checkin and the room (we had a 2 bed suite) was warm and inviting after a long drive. Modern, spotlessly clean and a homely feel. The beds and pillows were so comfy, we all slept like logs. Would love to have stayed longer and would def stay again. Pam was also really friendly and helpful. Excellent choice.

Highly recommend staying at Aspen Court. This motel was more than expected. Rooms were immaculate. We had a suite with 2 bedrooms, 3 twin beds and one king. Whirlpool bath with separate shower. Full kitchen well stocked. Restaurants all walking distance. The view is amazing. Property is beautiful. Like sleeping in a rain forest.

Great place to stay A great place to stay at in Franz Josef. A quiet location, surrounded by native bush and alpine views, but still within easy walking distance to the middle of the township. I recommend staying here.

Aspen Court Franz Josef – Highly Recommended! What a great place to stay! Aspen Court Franz Josef is set amongst native bush providing a very peaceful ambience. Internally the motel units are large studios, practical and modern with everything needed to make a perfect stay. Optional breakfast is Continental, served to your room each evening by Pam, the gracious hostess. The motel is walking distance to everything in the town. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Well positioned Motel was excellently located toward the top end of the village, quiet, but easy walk to the amenities. The Room was easy for car travellers to park outside your room, the rooms were modern and well appointed. Would probably have to put this up there with the best experienced on our South Island trip. The only one with biscuits so gives it the edge!

Like staying in a jungle Aspen Court is very clean and well tended and set in a green, natural area. There are wonderful hikes in the area and restaurants you can walk to from the hotel. We would be happy to stay here again.

A fabulous place to stay if visiting Franz Josef. Still in this room (on our 2nd night) as I type this review. This Motel is fabulous from top to bottom. The room is absolutely perfect. Lots of room, extremely clean, lovely bathroom, tea and coffee, toaster. We could turn on heating if cold outside or put on air con if too warm. We’ve been travelling though Australia & NZ for 2 weeks so far and this has been our favourite place to stay. Franz Josef is a spectacular place to visit but Aspen Court has made it even better. If we ever pass through this way again, we will look for this place. Thanks to the owners and the staff. We’ve loved it.

An excellent stay The very well planned room was comfortable, had all necessary amenities, and was scrupulously clean. The proprietor was very helpful and welcoming. The motel is well situated for the tiny township of Franz Josef, and not too far for Fox Glacier and Okarito.
