Loved this place.
Traving New Zealand for a month I’ve stayed in posh and cheap places, this was by far my favorite, the rooms were very clean and cozy. The stalff was excellent, nice and helpful and the breakfast was great, can’t recommend this place enough.

Lovely place to stay in Fox Glacier
This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to good cafes and bars. The room was lovely, although on level 1 there was no view - in fact we overlooked another building and the car park which was disappointing. If we stayed here again we would definitely request a room on Level 2. The breakfast (included) was excellent and the lady serving it delightful and friendly. Definitely the best place to stay in Fox Glacier.

Lovely spacious rooms but unfortunately eaten alive by mozzies and without the windows open it was too warm. Maybe flyscreens could be introduced on one window.

The room was spacious room clean. But bath had soap scum all around it husband had to clean it first. No real veiw from 106 except a bad state of repair roof below of the property. Do not get room 106 extreme noisy with stairwell nextdoor and kids running up and down continuously. Elephants above. Not a place for rest and peace. Lounge room very nice. Breakfast was good.

A wonderful hotel with large, well apointed room. The guy at receiption was very helpfully. He advised the best places to eat and local spots to visit. He was on reception at 6pm when we checked in and served breakfast at 8am. I could ask for a better place to stay to visit both glaciers.

Keep driving..
Advertised as a boutique hotel. Overpriced. Tired decor. Staff friendly, room clean. Views from hotel rooms are car park or adjacent properties rather than mountains. Breakfast unappealing, s/eggs full of pepper, coffee grey & undrinkable, fruit past best.. Town itself is v small - few cafes & petrol station, tourism centers around trips to glacier. Nearest good restaurant/cafe/gift shop is 5 min drive near lake worth visit for walk in rainforest. Ate in town cafes - friendly service -awful food. Best avoided.
