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.
Heartland Hotel Glacier Country is conveniently located at State Highway 6 and close to the Fox Glacier and a number of cafes/restaurants. We did a Mt Cook and Fox Glacier flight with snow landing with a company almost next door to the hotel and it was a fantastic experience.
The hotel is just about 30 minutes drive from the Franz Josef glacier and about 5km from Lake Matheson, which has a very good Fox Glacier lookout.
The Lodge is very quaint and set in a quiet lane. Very good rooms with a wooden theme decord.
The Breakfast was very nice.
The Owners were very helpful. We were 3 cyclists from India riding across South Island. Due to some bike problems, We were late in our riding schedule. So on our request, The hotel even refunded a prepaid room stay as we had to check out 1 day earlier.
Highly recommended.
Rgds.
On arrival Trish provided out of the oven muffins was nice with hot coffee.
Spacious was nice to spread out a little
Breakfasts lovely hone made bread & everything you would like to enjoy.
Trish & Collin have an amazing history of the area able to assist with special places to visit.
Great to be able view most of the fox glacier while enjoying breakfast.
very clean, warm and spacious room! bed was comfortable. good location, close to petrol stations, fox glacier, lake Matheson and nearby restaurants. owner recommended Betsey Jane for dinner - it was amazing (- we had the steak & pumpkin soup) highly recommended! also had free glow worm tour at night. wished we stayed at this lodge for longer!
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!
The hotel staff were kind and helpful, and the room was impeccably clean and comfortable. The location is highly convenient, allowing for easy access to local restaurants and stores. Additionally, there is a glow worm trail situated right next to the hotel, providing an opportunity for a unique and enchanting experience.
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.
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.
Great location - within easy walking distance of restaurants and cafes in Fox Glacier.
Good view of mountains, spacious room and good level of supplementary items (tea, coffee, etc.).
Staff were friendly.
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.
The gem hidden in a lovely Fox Glacier. The place is clean. The location is excellent. The staff is friendly and accommodating. You have got everything we need.
Amazing hosts and great location. Delicious home made breakfast.
If you are thinking of staying in Fox Glacier for a few nights highly recommend Ropatinis.
