Clean and safe motel with friendly staff. Located on the main road on Fox Glacier township with easy parking on-site. Room was a little bit on the small side but still comfortable and well stocked.

It was perfect for a one night stay, clean and comfortable.
Many thanks
Really lovely welcome and good room. I think the only bits which made it a 4 instead of a 5 star is that there was no hob (microwave only) and no smart TV with apps eg Netflix or YouTube. Other than that it was really good with lovely staff and housekeepers.
Thank you Graham
Quiet gem, no frills, good staff, the only thing lacking was an elevator. Loved the surrounding nature.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff was lovely, but, honestly, the cost of staying in what was essentially a very modest, basic hotel/motel was way out of proportion. Based on other accommodation we’ve stayed at in New Zealand, we paid 2x what we should have.

Thanks for the review and for acknowledging our staff who work hard to make sure everyone has a great stay.unfortunately our pricing does vary due to supply and demand and on the night of your stay there were no cheaper options left available when you booked .thanks for your feedbackkaren
Hi Alison, i would love if you could let us know what we could have done better, i realise being stuck in Fox glacier in a state of Emergency probably was'nt fun but we did try our best to keep everyone happy :) you can email me on info@bvfox.co.nz with any suggestions that would have made your stay better :) thanks for your feed back karen
Absolutely loved Karen at the front desk. She welcomed us, made us feel at home, was full of helpful hints, tips, ans suggestions, and kept us laughing the whole time. The room was nice enough, comfortable and convenient, but Karen really made our stay special.

Staff at reception was friendly and offered local advice. The room was clean and comfortable and convenient to town so we could walk to dinner. Happpy with stay.

Things started well with a great manager offering us excellent tips about the area. The room must have been refurbished recently and was superb. Wifi ok. Parking in front of the room. Only downside was an alarm going off at 7am - i cricked my neck leaping out due the excessive noise - turned out to be a toaster in a room far away :(
Would definitely stay here again. We were late checking in and they were super accommodating and left clear instructions with our room ready and waiting. Perfect location to explore Fox Glacier, Lake Matheson & Glow Worms. The room was spacious and exactly what we needed after a long day of driving and exploring. 5/5!
The accommodation was great. Although small it had everything we needed. Very clean. Nice staff. The days we stayed it was very hot and air-conditioning would have been great. The fan provided did help a little. Check out the glow worm walk nearby. It was fantastic.
