We stayed in the standard 1 bedroom apartment and it's super spacious, there're one double and one single in the bedroom, and another double and single in the living area so can accommodate 6 people. All beds with electric blankets and there's a heater as well. All the facilities in the room is top notch. I especially like their design of all the power points and light switches at the right spots! On top of all there are two lovely dogs that come and greet us as soon as we drove in and come outside the window of our room every now and then. The location might be a bit far from town centre but most people come here with a car so no a big deal.

Matthew, Hannah, Beamish & Tarn thank you for such a wonderful say. Thank you for the recommendations for walks, photography & the glow worms, all were magical. The accommodation is spotlessly clean with a kitchen and the most amazing eco friendly toiletries. The bed was comfy and it’s in a lovely quiet area. I loved my stay here and I loved Fox Glacier. Do not hesitate to book a room here, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again, I truly had the most wonderful time.

This was such a great motel slightly off the main town center of Fox Glacier but along the way to the popular Lake Matheson! The only downside I would list is that there was only one small panel heater in the room which was not sufficient to heat up the entire room. However, the beds had electric blankets and the bathroom had a heater so it was not a major issue.
