I hadn't realised breakfast was included that was a bonus. It was older building and very quiet - we think no one else stayed the night in the whole place.

Nice room, shame about the food.
Nice room but hotel feels like it’s being run on a shoestring. Although advertising a restaurant when we arrived and tried to book we were told it was not available to us as they had a coach party staying who were using the restaurant. Not much left for breakfast after the coach party had been in so if you’re planning on staying here, eat elsewhere!

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.
