We stayed at the Fox Glacier Lodge for two evenings. The staff at the lodge were amazing. They went above and beyond to answer any of our questions about the town. At night time, they offered a free walk to see the glow worms which was just around the corner from the lodge.

The property was good. No issues except images used for promotion of property were not the same as the actual room. Also communal kitchen was great but not an ensuite.

Friendly staffs and owners. The owner hosted a free glowworms tour every night in the forest beside the lodge. He’s very experienced and also told us many fun facts on glowworms. Overall a clean lodge at a very convenient location. The only small downside is the stove for cooking in the room is not very strong, so it might take awhile if you want to do self-cooking. Will definitely recommend friends to stay at this place when they visit fox glacier.

Gives free glow worm walk

We are surprised they give a free walk to see glow worms in a nearby park. Really nice to see the glow worms. The room is clean and comfortable. We just wish the wifi is a bit stronger for connection.
