Lovely spacious rooms but unfortunately eaten alive by mozzies and without the windows open it was too warm. Maybe flyscreens could be introduced on one window.

Nice, comfortable hotel close to everything

Pros: Room was payed out very well to make maximum use of the space. Front office staff very helpful and girls in the breakfast were very friendly.
Location: A visit to Lake Matheson is a must. There are walks for every level of fitness, also try the cafe there. The food is delicious.
A nice comfortable hotel, close to everything Fox Glacier has to offer. Very friendly staff. A very yummy breakfast is also provided.
