The location was convenient and close to local restaurants and attractions. The cooked breakfast was a great bonus. The fan helped cool the room from the late afternoon sun.

The lady at the reception was amazing, very kind, always smiling and always here to make things convenient.
The place was big, quiet and very convenient location.
Comodities was very good and the place very clean.
We slept so well, that we booked again Bella Vista in Wanaka.
The little plus, thanks for the tissues, we appreciated the gesture 😁

Fox Glacier is quite stunning, walk is relatively easy to first viewing point, we didn't get any further due to bad weather. Lovely eating places in town and a grocery store. Quite a small town so very quiet. We weren't there long enough to really explore the area

As a hiker I loved the lakes walks, and also the glacier lookout walk would have been great but the weather on that day was just too wet to complete. The lake Matheson cafe is a lovely place after a hike or good breakfasts beforehand. The town is limited, so if I wasn’t a hiker I would only have stayed a night and moved on.

There are several interesting walks to the glacier, lake etc. The helicopter to the glacier itself can be booked easily from the town. There are a number of good restaurants within easy walking distance. A overnight stay is all that is required to see & do everything.

We did the short tramp to Fox Glacier.
We did the short tramp to Fox Glacier. It’s totally worth the effort.
It’s only 30min drive to Franz Joseph where we tramped the 5 hr Roberts Point track. Reasonably arduous tramp, but again totally worth the effort.
This is a decent motel just on the edge of Fox Glacier Town about 6 kms from Lake Matheson on the road to the Glacier Viewpoint and as a result its location suited us fine. It's handy for the town but we were self catering. There's just enough in the kitchenette to do this successfully but there's only 2 of everything.
The room was comfortable, the bathroom adequate - what you'd expect in a standard motel though there were some good quality toiletries to make a bit of a difference. Staff were helpful.
Beautiful cosy cottage managed by lovely host. Situated very close to fox glacier and provides some exllelant views of mountain ranges. Its a small farm with little garden all around the cottages, provides glimpse of local life. To top it all hostess serves excellent home backed cakes, breads in beautifully decorated dining area with exotic items over lovely conversations.
Had amazing stay there, felt our stay was too short.
We had a cabin room with 4 people. There was plenty of room. The cabin was clean and tidy. The kitchenette was well stocked for making breakfast. Breakfast is not included. The second room has a loft window so you are woken by the light at sunrise. The bathroom had a shower with good water pressure and hot water. The location was best for us being across from Fox Glacier Guides.
An excellent "cabin", much better, more modern than many motel I've stayed in. A TV in the lounge area and another TV in the bedroom! Excellent bathroom and shower, excellent kitchen and facilities. All very clean. A bonus was the 7kW EV charger right beside my unit so I could charge overnight. It's the only public charger in Fox Glacier!
At reception, we were greeted by the wonderful Martin. He did not hesitate to take on the task of getting our bags out of the car and up to our room. When we checked out, his expert advice on how to best view Fox Glacier was invaluable and made for a truly unforgettable positive experience. We thank him again via this review.
It's just a basic motel. The price is ok compared to other motels in this area (the accommodation in this area are way too expensive and equipped with only basic things too).
For a one night stay it's ok.
If you come to fox glacier just to see lake matheson, think again. It's not worth your petrol, time, and money.
Stunningly beautiful location. The comfortable rooms were well-appointed and cosy - able to withstand the rapidly changing Winter weather in Fox Glacier. The proprietor could not have been more helpful and friendly. We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely place.
The location was great - very close to Fox Glacier township but quite rural and very quiet. Spectacular views to the mountains! An extensive and really good breakfast and our hosts, Trish and Colin, were friendly, with good advice and suggestions.
Very nice Motel !! My partner and I like the Motel.
If you come to Fox Glacier you should stay at this motel because The location is good and the rooms are clean and you can stay comfortably, we highly recommend this motel !!
Comfortable room, very friendly and helpful staff, and quiet since it is slightly off the main road. The hotel bar and restaurant is also good value and welcoming. I'll definitely stay again next time.
