New ZealandLoved the beautiful scenery and the location. So quiet and peaceful. The 1 bedroom unit had most amenities.Matthew Motel Manager went out of his way to help with all my needs. I will book again in the winter season.
New ZealandWe spent two nights here - while the rain poured down outside. The rooms were warm, dry, and comfortable. There is a good roof overhang and you could park reasonably close to stay dry. The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable - with all the facilities our family needed. The motel is very close to the centre of Fox Glacier. Its only a two minute walk up a gentle slope to the restaurants, general store, and tour operators. The owner was friendly and helpful.
