Good accommodation close to Glaciers

Welcoming staff, super clean room, fully furnished. We did not have dinner, but the breakfast was yummy. Nice location for a visit to the Glaciers, we will come back when possible!

Nice but wouldn’t stay again

This old hotel has been somewhat taken care of. It was good to stay for 1 night but I wouldn’t spend much longer. If we had our time again we would have stayed down the road at Franz Josef, it’s more modern and has a few more choices for restaurants etc.

Wet stay in Fox Glacier

Pros: Easy to find and central, great parking.
Location: Lake Mathewson and the Fox Glacier, adventure tramping, helicopter rides.
Nice town. Full of tour buses and tourists. Disappointed we weren't able to go to the Glacier because of the rain. Trip to Lake Mathewson lovely.

Very average room for $212.00

Staff were nice, but not very efficient. The guy on the front desk needs to learn how to deal with people better. The room was just ok, A crappy old CRT Television that was almost impossible to view. The meals and the bar were very good, but I don't believe I will be in a hurry to return there in my future travels

Amazing Views!!!

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Weather conditions :( Maybe light the fireplace in the piano room? Adds more atmosphere.
Location: Great saloon across the road for dinner. Glow worm walks for free past the last hotel on the main road. Glacier right down the road. AMAZING VIEWS!
Unfortunately we arrived during a raining week so the sights were less than prefect. The accommodation was amazing though. We were upgraded to a king room WITH A BATH TUB! After driving from hokatika in the rain a nice hot bath was just what we needed. The Asian guy at the reception desk (didn't get his name) was amazing too, he explained everything and helped us with parking and how to get our stuff inside in the weather. The saloon across the road was great for dinner and then coffee and cake in the hotel at night. We woke up to views looking to the mountains and check out was a breeze! Highly recommended place to stay if you want to do either glacier walks. Best warm and comfy bed plus pillows like home! We are coming back in winter to stay again and i highly encourage anyone looking to stay in this place.
