Offering accommodations with free WiFi, satellite TV and lovely mountain views, Rainforest Motel is 5 minutes’ drive from Lake Matheson. Guests can enjoy the gardens overlooking Mount Fox. Kitchenette was fully equipped with everything I needed to cook- even an oven (I didn’t use that but it’s rare to see one in a kitchenette.) I’m very particular about cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom and I’m really happy with my room. Also because my helihike got postponed due to the rain, I was allowed a late checkout the next day that gave me time to freshen up and pack after returning from the hike (~1-2pm). I really appreciated that!

I prefer Fox Glacier to Franz as its smaller and more intimate. We have been before but we stayed longer this time to explore the place a bit more. We had a wander down to Gillespie Beach and had a look around the old mining equipment and miners graves and a walk through the Bush on the Minnehaha Walk. We didnt get to Lake Mathesion this time but it is a must do if you have the time. Gorgeous scenery everywhere you look and good food at The Cook Saddle Cafe and Saloon.
Close to alpine tours ...pick you up outside your accommodation take you to the helipad ...next 30 minutes your flying over both Franz and Fox glacier great views of Mt cook ..landing in snow on mount Tasman .Quick photo shoot and snow fight ..spectacular 😁😁😁
Fortunately the path to the Glacier was open and the walk through the forest to the viewing area was beautiful. The Glacier of course has retreated a lot due to global warming but is still worth a visit.
Although I would have liked to see the glacier, I liked the fact that I got to see the country's biggest active landslide!!! The road and path had completely fallen away. I love the fact that nature is still in charge in New Zealand!! I did think it sad that the tourist industry in New Zealand is becoming so reliant on helicopters and planes...presumably causing further damage to the environment...sometimes it's okay not to see everything. It's not our right!
We were traveling at a very leisurely pace and enjoyed the quiet and down time. If you are tight for time and only want to see the glaciers and be on your way.... if the weather is good, your could hike to/from both Franz Josef and Fox glaciers in one day. Having said that, there's plenty more to see and do in the area. Of course, the heli rides are just awesome.
The track to visit Fox Glacier is shut. Forget seeing it. Drive to Franz Josef and park for free. You'll need to do a 1.5 hour trek from the car park to get somewhat close. It's a hard slog for a 62 year old bloke with Parkinson's Disease, but you do your best lol
