Weak hot water supply and heater in bathroom will shut down automatically after operating for a while. Room price of this motel is however low.

Location is a bit out of town, but walking distance to the best restaurant in town. It was a good location for me to tour the area from. The room was large and had a great view off the patio.

Great place to stay
We’ve traveled New Zealand for three weeks. This hotel is by far the most realistic from pictures on their site. Staff is SO friendly and helpful, just awesome. Be sure to do the glow worm walk! We’d definitely stay again.

8/10 Very Good

The room as such was comfortable. We had to ask for more coffee and milk sachets as only 2 were provided for 2 people and 2 nights. The walls are very thin, we heard snoring from both sides. We had to close the currains into the garden, great mountain view, as both neighbours kept walking about in front of our bedroom looking in. Comfortable bed.

Perfect sleep in Fox Glacier
Perfect location on the way to Lake Mathison and the views of Fox glacier. Room was clean and well stocked. Comfortable bed. Friendly and helpful staff. Close to restaurants and could have walked there if not cold/raining. Nothing fancy but perfect for a restful night of sleep
