Room was large, quiet and included a kitchen to cook dinner or breakfast. We got food at town grocery store to cook for both meals. Connor at check in was friendly and provided lots of info. Fox Glacier is a small quiet town. We enjoyed staying here.

Simple and delightful

Very relaxing and home like stay. Came in with low expectations since this was a small motel ( in my mind ). But was blown away by the thoughtfulness of the setup. Arrived late but the keys were all set up and ready for us without hassle. Comfortable room with kitchenette and upgraded interiors . Very friendly communication both prior and during stay. Very peaceful and away from the hustle of the main motorway. Would have loved to stay longer . Kids rate it higher than some of the larger commercial hotels we stayed in. Thank you!

I cannot speak highly enough of this property. It has the most spectacular views of Mt. Cook, is close to Lake Matheson and the glacier view point. The room was freshly painted, new carpets and beds were super comfy. The host, Matt is a gentleman. For my family, he moved heaven and earth to help. Next time I'm in Fox Glacier, I would only stay there. Oh and the dog is a beauty too.

Great stay at Fox Glacier

Booked Mt Cook View Motel and due to road closures from adverse weather meant we couldn't make the booked date. Spoke to Matthew at the Motel who was very helpful and provided updates to road closures. We managed to move the booking to a later date and arrived to find a very helpful Matthew and well appointed accommodation. Matt pointed out some key activities to make the most of our stay which we followed and which provided some good memories of our stay at Fox Glacier including some awesome views of the glacier. Matt also booked us for a heli flight but unfortunately the weather the next morning wasn't that helpful. With Matt’s help, we had a great stay at Mt Cook View Motel and Fox Glacier including a great meal at Betsey Jane’s.

Cozy and clean.

We arrived quite late, so although the office was closed there was a notice with my name on it with instructions on how to access the room. The room was clean and comfortable. A cozy spot to rest for the night. Would be a comfortable stay if we were here longer.
