The Bella Vista Motel is well located, just a few minutes’ walk from the main street shopping and dining area. Our room was clean, tidy, and well presented, with good bathroom facilities and all amenities as advertised.
The room was configured with a king bed and an additional single bed. As a couple, we did not require the single, and while this made the room feel slightly cramped, it did not detract from our overall comfort.
On-site parking was convenient. Although the car park was mostly full during our stay, we did not experience any difficulty in finding a space.
We stayed for two nights, thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and would be happy to stay at the Bella Vista Motel again when visiting Franz Josef.

Overall a very enjoyable stay. We were also able to catch up on the laundry using their service.
Parking excellent. Located in the centre of town, easy access to helicopter station for the glacier experience.

Good location- but staff not willing to check us in any earlier but happy to sit around having tea and leaving us waiting at reception
No where to store bags upon arrival and even at 2pm, we’re made to wait to the second to check in
Room was very small, no aircon and for the price paid, was poor. Thin windows, noisy from outside and you can hear every word of neighbours and people below
Even when we requested our room to be serviced, they replaced the towels but didn’t even make the bed, beyond ridiculous
Have reached out to support

The motel is conveniently located within walking distance to everything in town. The owner was very nice and helpful, even assisting me with carrying my two 28-inch suitcases up to the room — much appreciated!
I loved waking up to the sound of birds chirping in the morning — so tranquil and serene. It’s a peaceful place to stay and very affordable.
Highly recommended!

Staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodated early check-in when in the midst of an area-wide power outage. His orientation to local attractions was outstanding, giving us guidance that helped us maximize our time experiencing the glaciers.
Spacious room with good heater. The bath towels were small, but adequate.
Kitchenette supplies (pans, hot plate, roster, dishes, and utensils) were plentiful and facilitate making meals in the room.

Room layout and amenities were very unique and appreciated.
Lawrence
The room was very large but it seemed like a time warp experience, The unit has not been updated in a good while, which was surprising due to the price. The room was nicely stocked although we did not use the kitchette. The mattress is ready to be replaced.

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.

Very central and nice in Franz Josef!
👍 Like my review! We had a 2 night stay at Bella Vista Motel in Franz Josef, New Zealand as part of our journey across the country. We chose this place as it was central to the town, nearby Franz Josef Glacier Tour, had free parking, and was an excellent value. The room was also far from the main street allowing some peace and quiet after a long day. The checkin process was smooth with our assigned room but guests should contact them if their office closes. The room was clean and cozy, TV had limited channels but access to streaming services and connection to a DVD player (with free DVDs for checkout in reception), bed and pillows were comfortable, walkin shower had shampoo and body wash but no conditioner, bathroom ventilation fan and towel warmer were nice, internet was slow at times during peak hours, outlets were provided throughout the room and near the end of the bed for charging or medical devices, and several amenities (e.g. instant coffee, French press coffee grounds, tea, provided fresh milk from reception, kettle, toaster, cutlery, utensils, microwave, fridge, iron and ironing board) were helpful. Please note that there was no provided body lotion and not enough coffee grounds for the French press. They also provided an on-site laundromat and continental breakfast for a fee. The highlight is that the people working in the reception were extremely helpful and welcoming. Overall, we would consider staying here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.

Easy walk to restaurants & grocery

Was nice , tv didnt work properly tho

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.

Jacqueline
Very convenient, comfortable and quiet motel
Derek
Great place to stay , very clean with everything you need. Shame about the rest of Franz Josef, rip off restaurants over inflated prices, they carry on like this then this great motel will suffer
Raymond
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.
Chad
Nice area and very friendly staff. Recommend the Monsoon restaurant. Food was awesome. Easy walking distance to everything in town and a short drive to the glacier.
Mareena

Clean and centrally located in Franz Josef. A little tight on space but manageable.

Not worth $300. Basic room booked out so booked one better room ! I wonder what basic room be like. Got disable room so I suppose everything more user friendly including needed to park at disable spot because that was our spot. Night time special ventilator made noise. Some sort of humidifying fan. Reception said don’t worry, it will stop . Thank god it stopped making noise stopped . And we stuffed tea towel in there so air flow stooped. A friend booked and cancelled the room because they missed the flight and hotel got no vacancy that night so they must have sold out the room. I wonder whether we got better room as such but still very crappy.

Small compact room
The room was quite small compared with other accommodation we have had in N Zealand. It is in an ideal location and you can walk to everywhere in Franz Josef
Phil
The room was clean, bed comfy, staff friendly and obliging, room was small, parking on-site

Close to where we had to go for helicopter flight to glaciers.

Jim and Cindy were great and made us feel welcomed.
Robert
Well worth staying here
My husband and I were very impressed with the room, location of the hotel and the great staff. The kitchenette had everything and more than you’d expect from a motel, it made preparing or reheating food very easy. The room (#3) was spacious and had a lovely bathroom with a spa bath
Elizabeth
Very kind staff. Comfy bed.
Michael

Super friendly check in. Free on-site parking. Clean and comfortable motel. Good that there's heating even in the bathroom, even if it's a little noisy. Stayed in Bella Vista here and elsewhere before. Reliable chain.

Room was very mouldy and after making a complaint nothing was done. Apparently manager was aware of smell but had neglected to fix.

The TV selection is a joke absolutely terrible
Lucie
Great motel, lovely staff.
We had a great 3 night stay at the Bella Vista in Franz Josef. Our upstairs room had a fantastic view of the glacier.
The room was not huge but had a small kitchenette with plunger coffee and cookies. There is a good sized bathroom and a comfortable bed. The laundry room was a great bonus.
The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The motel is just 1 block from the main street with lots of restaurants, cafes and a small supermarket. It’s s ask do a short walk to the Waiho Hot Tubs. There are lots of nice walks to do and of course there is the glacier. Happy to recommend.

Great views to Franz Josef glacier
Malcolm
The motel in a quiet street yet very handy to walk to everything. Our room was clean and tidy but rather small.
Kenneth
Host arranged a shuttle to the glacier within 30 minutes of our arrival. Excellent water pressure and spotless room. No air conditioning, but with the window and door ajar, it was not needed. Great instant coffee. Delicious water from the tap. Superb views. Nice 2nd floor table and chairs for wine and cheese cocktail. Lovely bathroom heater lamps for when you get out of the shower. Would definitely recommend without reservation.
Feliceanna
The property was a good size, had all the ammenadies you need. No air con but provided a fan. Parking on property so easy access if driving. In walking distance of everything in town.
