We were here overnight in November, and it was cold. Though the windows could have given a wonderful view, most of the time the mist was down, and every time it lifted the snow had come further down the mountain. One of the windows in our room was cracked. The best thing to say about this motel is that the... more

What a nice place. We took my in-laws to the Coast for their 80th Birthday treat. The Hosts were great, nothing was too much. They told us the best place to eat and what to see. The Helicopter ride with The Helicopter Line was amazing too. The rooms were clean and compfy, lovely thick white Towels and a view to... more

A little bit further out of town than the other hotels but perhaps one of the newer ones - only a 10 minute leisurely walk. roomy with QS bed, counch and small table. outdoor patio with table and chairs also. the rooms did smell a little but we think it was the cleaning products they use. not a destination in... more

What a view. I opened the curtain in the morning and was greeted by the glacier and mountains with Mt Cook in the background. There was no cloud in that direction. It only lasted five minutes but it was definitely a good place to be standing at the time. The location is a short way out of town, about 10-15... more

Basic apartment - quite small but clean. On the outskirts of the town but easy walking distance - and good views of Mount Cook when sky clear. Good place to stay if just stopping over to visit the Glacier. Lots of helicopters buzzing about in the morning. more

Sunset Motel was a great place to stay and, we think, one of the better options in a small town. The rooms were clean, comfortable and airy. We stayed in a mountain view room, which was reasonably priced and did have views of the mountains. Mt Cook even dared to show its face more than once! The bed was comfortable... more

We stayed in a ‘Mountain view studio room’ for 1 night in Dec 2008. The room was new, reasonably spacious, neat and very clean. Nice view of Southern Alps. The place modern and is close to the town centre, scenic helicopters and fox Glacier. It was quite noisy in the morning as the helicopters were constantly taking-off and landing in... more

Nice neat, tidy and new motel. Basic amenities. Nice view (for Fox) from the back of our room. Overpriced for what you get. more
