Great accommodation in a great location
Great accommodation in a great location. Not really as price competitive as some we've stayed in, but that must be due to the area.

A warm welcome by Jim upon check-in for our 3 night stay. He provided great recommendations for tracks to see the views of the glacier. He was also very attentive during our stay to ensure we were enjoying our stay and to help with any needs. Room was modest but clean and comfortable. Had a small collection of DVDs to check out which was perfect for one of our rainy days during our stay.

The property was well located near the glacier. It provided all the required amenities and the staff were very kind and helpful with recommendations. It is not a fancy place, but is clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
