Top Fox Glacier Hotel Reviews

Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious. A kitchen with a stove, fridge, MW. It's a suite with living room divided by a sliding door. The owner is super nice that showed us great viewing sights and informed us the road closures more than 100 miles away. Highly recommended for shorter and longer trip."

Fox Glacier Lodge

8/10 Good

"The host and the room itself and the overall facilities were excellent. We cannot fault them in any way. However…We arrived to no electricity and to our shock and disappointment - no generator. It meant on a very cold night and after a very long drive from Wānaka - we were in the dark with only a torch with no heating. We noted some other accommodation nearby had generators. There was also no internet or mobile service which made it for a very interesting evening. Overall, putting aside most things out of people’s control, this is a nice place to stay."

Wild Kea Lodge Franz Josef

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, clean room, clean and spacious kitchen.And FREE COFFEE + MUFFINS + SOUP. There was hardly anyone when we stayed here coz probably it was winter plus it was raining the whole week so we had the whole lounge and kitchen to our selves. They also have lots of games for everyone so you won’t feel bored"
