Nice place, close to the tourism places.

The owner is very nice and friendly, we checked in very late night and we were allowed to checkout late at next day as we continue our travel to the next place, the room is decent and has complete kitchenette..

Just a One Nighter

Pros: Good response to email booking which made arrival and settling-in so much easier.
Cons: It ain't broke; don't fix it!
Location: Made supplied on Internet saved us from going astray.
Warm welcome even though were running late as usual. Much appreciated.

Great Room

Pros: The lady that checked us in was very friendly and very helpful, pointing out many things to make so our stay enjoyable.
Location: The motel is right in Fox Glacier township, and very close to Lake Matheson.
This motel was easy to find and centrally located. The room was spacious and very comfortable, and felt quite homely. We had no view of the scenery from our room, but the room was so lovely & protected from the weather, that we didn't mind. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing

Lake Matheson Motel was the favourite of all our stays in South Island. Mike and Heather are the lovely, friendly couple who run the place. We got engaged while we were in Fox Glacier, and they went out of their way to make it a special occasion for us. The view from the garden is stunning - it was the perfect place to sit back with a glass of champagne and take in the mountains. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and stylish; and there is ample parking. Look forward to staying there again next time we're in town!
