Loved the setting. It felt remote yet we were close to everything we needed. Restaurants and shops were walkable. The room was clean and comfortable. Our shower was open to our bathroom and left the whole floor wet when we used it. It seemed to be an accessible shower. Was not ideal for us. Otherwise the stay was pleasant.

Very good Hostel. Stayed in a 4 person downstairs room. My only complaints are that the floors are a bit thin and people stomping around above me were noisy and secondly they close the hot tub at 8 pm, which seems a bit early. Otherwise this place is amazing. Great grounds and location

I loved that the resort catered for all travellers regardless of whether they were a backpacker or someone that was looking for a deluxe accommodation to those who just needed a place to park their camper van. I found that it became it's own little community and everyone was very friendly and respectful of each other. There are a number of dining options close by and a supermarket that was 200m away. It was very clean and convenient to both glaciers. The staff were excellent. I seriously have nothing that I could fault. Very good value for money!!!
