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.
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.
Nice, clean, spacious and warm place to stay in the small village of Fox Glacier. Beautiful snow mountains scenery right in front of you from rainforest motel. The two cute doggies (one 4-months old only) following the hardworking and friendly owners everywhere, added fun to my rainy day in Fox. Would definitely recommend!
The hosts were fantastic, the comfortable, and the room immaculate! The included breakfast was superb and we were even given homemade lemon filled muffins on arrival! I cannot convey just how amazing this host is and how pleased we are with the stay. This was the BEST stay we have had in New Zealand!
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.
Central to town. Clean accommodation. Bed however did slump on right side. Great shower pressure. Fox Glacier was on boil water notice which was a shame. Close to Betsy Jane Restaurant which is a must. Hosts very accommodating with use of garage to lock our bikes. Staff extremely friendly.
We were so welcomed from the beginning of our stay and we felt right at home. We were able to use the kitchen freely to cook. The lodge is walking distance to the Fox Glacier tour. Free glo-worm tours in the evening — I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting, 10/10
We were left instructions to get into our room so did not meet the host, Kristen, but she left a note
with all instructions.
Our room was very clean and comfortable with all amenities we needed. Great shower!
Good location for visiting Lake Matheson and Fox Glacier.
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.
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.
This lodge was pretty close to the assembly place of our fox glacier helicopter hike (Fox Glacier Guiding), which was one of the reasons we chose this accommodation. Overall, a great value for money and an enjoyable stay!
