A nice stay in Fox Glacier
Great stay. Quiet. Great team. The only negative was no AC and we had to keep the windows open all night subjecting ourselves to the gnats.

I had been in a car accident, totalled the car, and Ash, the manager was fantastic. She organized ways for me to get from one place to another, made a plane reservation for me, even loaded my stuff in her car to get me to my next lodging. Over the top service.

Loved this place.
Traving New Zealand for a month I’ve stayed in posh and cheap places, this was by far my favorite, the rooms were very clean and cozy. The stalff was excellent, nice and helpful and the breakfast was great, can’t recommend this place enough.

I hadn't realised breakfast was included that was a bonus. It was older building and very quiet - we think no one else stayed the night in the whole place.

Lovely place to stay in Fox Glacier
This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to good cafes and bars. The room was lovely, although on level 1 there was no view - in fact we overlooked another building and the car park which was disappointing. If we stayed here again we would definitely request a room on Level 2. The breakfast (included) was excellent and the lady serving it delightful and friendly. Definitely the best place to stay in Fox Glacier.

Nice room, shame about the food.
Nice room but hotel feels like it’s being run on a shoestring. Although advertising a restaurant when we arrived and tried to book we were told it was not available to us as they had a coach party staying who were using the restaurant. Not much left for breakfast after the coach party had been in so if you’re planning on staying here, eat elsewhere!

Lovely spacious rooms but unfortunately eaten alive by mozzies and without the windows open it was too warm. Maybe flyscreens could be introduced on one window.

Not quite as expected.
This feels more like a motel than a hotel. Breakfast and staff there were ok. Did not see the reception staff on arrival nor at checkout. Key was taped to the reception door in an envelope when we arrived about 5:30 PM. Room was fine. Left the key in the empty reception about 9am when we left . Our expectations were a bit different based on descriptions and price level.
