It was quiet, the motel was not full. It seemed the staff spaced the rooms to minimize having an immediate neighbor. The staff seemed pleased to assist with requests. Our online comparisons suggested it was a good value, 3 star type accommodation. The rooms were as advertised. The carpet and couch were obviously well used but probably clean. We liked having clean towels each day and the rubbish taken out.

It felt a little dingy bearing in mind we spent longer indoors than we usually would due to the weather and an injury.

Spectacular view and a good location. A bubble bath was nice to relax after a long day walking. There were a heater and a fan to keep you warm n cool you down.

Musty bathroom (no fan extractor), Bed is a bit soft. It requires a kitchen towel that could absorb more water to dry dishes better or leave them dry on a rack before you leave. No kitchen extractor fan, so you may cook simple foods. Open the front & back doors, and windows instead. Be aware the night time insects, pls close the windows n doors before dark, especially Sandfies !!

Stayed 4 nights. Such a very lovely friendly welcome, super helpful. The ever changing mountain view from our room was hard to leave behind, so enjoyed just sitting outside after a day's activities with a glass of wine, watching the changing scenes, the bird life and the visits from the such healthy looking cute two chickens and a quiet Cockerell, what a delight and bonus. We wish we could have stayed longer, but a hug from 'mum' when we said goodbye set us nicely on our way.....we have a feeling that we will be back.

Nice 2 bedroom configuration, ideal for our group and not on the main highway.(not that it was busy). Staff recomended the Cook Saddle Cafe & Saloon, where we had the best rib eye in our entire NZ holiday and we had a few.

No fixed heater in the twin room. Water pressure in the shower was low (a common theme throughout our NZ trip.). Poor weather meant that the glacier views were non existant but that's the chance you take holidaying in Winter in the South Island.

View was amazing, room was good. Restaurants close by.

Check in was easy to this well-located motel. We had a view of Mt Tasman and Mount Cook over the roof tops. Nice sized room, & the bed was comfortable. We were able to cook breakfast using the small cooktop, which for us, was an important feature of the room. We only stayed overnight, but would happily stay again for 1 or 2 nights.

No insect screens, but no sand flies, so it was ok that way. No fan in the room and it did get warm in the sunny weather. The generic pictures let the decor down badly - why not some NZ landscape photos?

Beautiful room, clean, well appointed, new furnishings, comfortable bed, beautiful mountain view, good kitchen area, big TV (not that we watched it- all channels were rubbish), very comfortable, large motel suite

COLD!!! And heating a large area with a 4 bar oil heater didn't cut it. It needs decent heating that heats the room. We laid in bed with the electric blanket on to keep warm

The view was awesome. Clear, sunny days are the best. Heating was good, with wall heater, plus oil bar heater. Staff were very accommodating with lots of local information, and very quick to fix mishaps with room (faulty tv cable). Room was clean and tidy. WiFi was good. Would reccomend.

Water pressure was low for the shower, but still nice and hot. Electric blankets would be nice on very cold nights. Bed was too soft for me (big bloke) These are just my personal preferences, The room was awesome and i would book again.

When we travel, we generally pick simple places that meet the following criteria - clean, good hot water supply, good wifi, the option to make tea and a basic breakfast in the morning, and ideally quiet. This motel met all of those! We also did our laundry(wash and dry) on the premises for $6NZD. Other reviewers mention sitting outside their rooms enjoying the countryside and birds. There were rooms that could potentially do that, but our table and chairs faced the parking lot and were close to the street, so it depends on which room you get. Since that's not something we typically do, it didn't detract from our rating.

Nothing - everything was great!

Loved the location and peacefulness. The view of the snow-capped mountains was amazing. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette was well equipped for our two nights stay. And the spa bath was wonderful after a day exploring the many beautiful walking tracks in this magnificent area. I would definitely stay here again if I were to return to Fox Glacier.
