James New Zealand

I had apartment 6, lovely views and the best shower of all time, especially after a long day of riding the motorbike.

Michael New Zealand

Loved 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.

Susan New Zealand

We 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.

Andrew New Zealand

Excellent location!
