    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.

    it was fantastically clean, which I appreciated having stayed in a pod the night before. Fox Glacier itself is very beautiful and peaceful however is further and quieter than the neighbouring glacier Franz Josef. The room was large and everything was spotless, staff were very accomodating and friendly, showed me what was near by and a recommended spot to grab a bite which I am very thankful for. Just a shame I visited on a cloudy day and there wasn’t much to see.

    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.

    This place is conveniently located. I Loved that Ann was so engaging, warm and friendly. Being a local, she had extensive knowledge of the history of Fox Glacier and the community.. The kitchen, lounge and the room was thoughtfully decorated and spacious. The deck of perfectly facing the mountains and the sunset which is an ideal way to the finish your day. It's a must visit town and backpacker hostel.

    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.

    This place reminded me of a ski lodge in the US. It's was rustic but very comfy. The town is tiny and this is a great place to stay in town. We met several other couples at breakfast so that was fun. We had a large corner room that was great. They had a nice free glow work walk that left from the office at 9pm.

    The motel locates in the very good spot of Fox Glacier town. The room is as good as always. I have been there many times and the quality still remain. Even the location is away out of town but reacheable. You can walk to Fox Glacier town if you with but travelling by car is more convenience.

    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.
