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.

There was nothing to fault
The location was perfect and the house very spacious. The views of Mount Tasman and Mount Cook from the house were amazing. The rooms were a lovely size, each with a view. Thank you for a perfect stay and would thoroughly recommend.

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.
Great location, near by (small) town center and Minnehaha walk with amazing views of mountains. Staff was amazing specially Mathew who was extraordinarily helpful. He got our helicopter ride fixed, arranged our trip to Lake Matheson as it was difficult without car to go 6 km, do 5 km lake circuit (I covered all the major viewing points) come back with family (specially with 4 year old kid).He himself dropped us there and picked up.
It was most amazing stay outside our home. Highly recommend this for whosoever intends to visit Fox Glacier.
Colin and Trish are the perfect hosts serving an excellent breakfast and happy to advice on nearby sights restaurants .wonderful views of Fox Glacier from the property and the nearby viewing area where there is an excellent cafe and gift shop.The owners little dog is very friendly .Good Wi-Fi and powerful shower .
Franz Joseph Glacier is not far away by car so this accomodation is a good base for seeing both Glaciers
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.
Fox Glacier Lodge was a really nice place to stay. The room we had was large and comfortable and the staff offered a free glow worm walk at night. The location is right near the Minnehaha walk and a short drive from lake Matheson and the Fox Glacier viewpoint. We only had one night here, but enjoyed our stay!
Convenient hostel located at Fox Glacier with a large communal kitchen and hang out common area. WiFi is excellent. There is an area with individual showers (nice showers) and an area with individual toilets. There is an outdoor hot tub. We parked on the street in front which was convenient.
I want to give a special shout out to Matt for being so helpful with my booking for a helicopter ride out of Fox Glacier. Although things didn’t go as hoped in the end, it certainly wasn’t because he didn’t go above and beyond to try and I’m grateful for that.
Bella Vista motel was in an amazing location, very close to the glacier. The bonus was the cafes nearby and in the night we got to see glow worms in the minehaha walk located only 5 mins walk from the hotel. Gorgeous views of the mountains and the low clouds
Clean room and shared bathroom. Great location, next to a grocery store, several bar-restaurants, gas station and all the activity officies of Fox Glacier. Polite staff ready to help and give suggestions. Easy parking. Very cheap for the prices of the area.
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.
We loved the location, the friendliness of the staff, especially Karen at the front desk who wrangled a call from Qantas who had left my bag in Sydney (my bag arrived 2 days later). It was clean, convenient and perfect base for viewing Fox Glacier.
This Backpackers lodge would be the one to buy has location all the Basic's are there plenty of power points etc. Just a little run down.
A bit of paint and new carpet etc tidy up outside and it will be away again.
The Lodge was near the centre at Fox Glacier which was good.
Staff were excellent with information about local attractions and had also arranged a trip to see glow worms free of charge.
Great location for exploring Fox Glacier - lovely views of the mountains. Useful kitchen area. Short distance to the village for amenities such as post office and nice restaurant.
Good location in Fox Glacier and suited our needs for a 1 night stay. Room was very clean and hosts easy to deal with. It had everything we needed and bed was very comfortable too,
