We enjoyed a two-night stay at 10 Cottages and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We recommend asking for one of the ten free-standing cottages nearest the rain forest ... we were treated to our first glimpses of the fantails birds and loved listening to the forest after returning from dinner. The rooms have a wee fridge and microwave, comfortable beds (each... More

We spent two nights here and found the wee stand-alone cottages great. Close to each other, but still private. There's something special about using the bathroom facilities listening to native birdsong! Had no trouble finding the place and it was very comfortable, clean and had all the facilities we required. Handy to town, restaurants and hot pools. Host very friendly... More

This location is within a few minutes drive, even walking distance, from the township. Very handy to restaurants and the Scenic Helicopter Flights. The cottages complex seems new and only offers a Microwave - no cooktop. They are more of a free standing motel room than a cottage and they are all very closely clustered together. However, we were only... More

We were only passing through Franz Josef so required only one nights accommodation. Slight trouble finding the reception turns out that is based on the street over from the cottages at The Terrace motel. The cottage itself was clean, bed comfortable, small kitchenette and freeview tv. Basic but everything we required. Parking was a little on the tight side but... More

You check in for 10 Cottages just around the corner at a motel, with friendly and helpful service. The receptionist immediately provided a detailed map of the area, marking places she recommended and answering any questions we had. Our unit looked a bit like a corrugated metal shed with a sliding glass door from the front, but inside where it... More

Compact units but had all we wanted for two nights. Very clean with little mini kitcehn area with sink and microwave but no hob. Parking outside cottages a little limited and was not sure which parking spot we should have parked in. Close to main street. Found staff very helpful

These compact (8 * 4 meter) cabins are located just 150 meters from the center of town just one street east of the main road. Check in is at the Terrace Motel next door. Our cabin was equipped to sleep three, was well heated, and had a small table and three chairs. The kitchenette included a microwave, fridge and sink.... More

10 Cottages exceeded our expectations. The cottage was new, spacious and clean. Little noise from guests in neighboring cottages as they are detached. The staff were friendly and helpful. A very nice place to stay for the price!
