Stayed in a cozy lodge, complete with a kitchen and TV area. The room was spotlessly clean and had fresh flowers upon arrival. The owners were friendly and even arranged a special surprise for our anniversary. The location was perfect, with easy access to nearby town and various eating places. Walking to the glacier was also convenient, and we got to enjoy stunning views.
The rain in the middle of the night caused our laundry to get soaked. It would have been helpful if there was a covered area for drying clothes.

I had a fantastic stay at a well-maintained lodge in Fox Glacier. Despite the rainy weather, the spacious rooms with pine interiors and tidy linens provided a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The continental breakfast exceeded my expectations, with fresh bread, muffins, yogurt, fruit. The manager's friendliness and helpfulness made our stay even better, and the on-site coin-operated laundry was a convenient amenity. the lodge's location in the small village of Fox Glacier made it easily accessible to explore the area on foot. I highly recommend this lodge for a pleasant and satisfying stay.
Although the lodge provided a great experience overall, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The steps to the office felt precarious in the rain, and a bit more lighting in the foyer and stairwell would have been beneficial.

the lodge exceeded my expectations! after a previous disappointing stay in fox glacier, i was pleasantly surprised by the amazing location, friendly staff, and spacious room with cooking facilities. the bottle of wine and tips for exploring the firefly forest were the icing on the cake. highly recommended!
Communication was lacking. had trouble checking in late at night, as the reception was closed and couldn't reach anyone.

The lodge exceeded our expectations, with a lovely interior and great location. the provided breakfast supplies were a nice touch. the shower and bath were fantastic, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Fox Glacier is a charming town with plenty of places to eat and drink. the helicopter ride to the glacier was absolutely amazing.
Felt really comfortable, no complaint.

Lovely atmosphere with festive decorations and a communal breakfast. Homemade muffins and a well-equipped kitchen for breakfast. Comfortable, warm lodge-style rooms with great value for money. Convenient location near glacier tour but consider staying in Franz Josef for more amenities. Real milk provided for tea. 🎄🍳🛏️💰🥛

There were a couple of negative aspects.

Great value for money, with a nice and big room and free parking right in front. The location was excellent, close to town and the glaciers, and the staff were super friendly and even offered free guided walks to see glow-worms.
Breakfast selection could have been better, with more variety to choose from.

The value for money was excellent, with spacious and comfortable rooms at a great price. The central location allowed easy access to restaurants and there was ample parking available. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to change our dates due to unforeseen circumstances.
The food for breakfast could be improved by having more options available before 7:30 a.m.

We had a great time during our New Year's stay. the staff were very friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home. The room was tidy and cozy, with a well-equipped kitchenette that had everything we needed. The location was perfect, right in the center of town and close to various trails and attractions. we were pleasantly surprised by the large towels provided, which added an extra touch of comfort to our stay.
We did experience a few drawbacks. The breakfast offered was average at best, leaving us wanting more variety and quality.

The lodge had a cozy and homely feeling, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a spa bath in the bathroom. The location was perfect, offering beautiful views and easy access to nearby attractions.
The hotel decor was a bit dull and in need of updating. The breakfast had to be prepared and cleaned up by guests, which was a bit strange considering the price.
