Great stay in the deluxe accommodation. Comfy beds and the hot tub was very relaxing. Note that the tvs aren’t smart tvs so you’re limited to local tv. We ate at monsoon both nights and the food was excellent

Love the motel. We are family of three kids under 10 years old, one is a toddle. It is little bit pricy for but honestly no complaint with the cleanness inside. We are happy to stay again.

Room is really lovely and comfortable. Floors had heating and kept the room really cozy.
Shower was big and bathroom was spacious. The view from the room was beautiful.
The package included breakfast which was great with fresh produce of jams, fresh baked bread and eggs. Best place we stayed on our trip of the west coast of the south island in NZ.

Arrived late on a Saturday to find friendly hosts who had the heaters going and the free wifi all organised. The room was way better than expected for the price. Modern well laid out and super comfortable. Spotlessly clean. We had booked a spa bath unit and again were pleasantly surprised to find a large corner spa that was great to relax in after enjoying the wonderful walks around fox. We had only booked one night but quickly decided we wanted to stay on as fox glacier had more to offer than...

The ensuite lodge was very comfortable. Kitted with a gas heater that warms up the place really quick during winter. The bathroom included a personal spa tub, which was very user friendly.

We stayed in a king size studio that had plenty of room. From the entrance we could see the snow covered mountains which was a bonus as the actual view was towards the township. It was clean and it had a well equipped kitchenette which is essential as eating out here is v expensive. Only issue is sound proofing, we could hear the neighbours whose alarm went off at 6am. They also left their car running for a good ten minutes before leaving but it was not frosty or snowing..

Very nice motel. Had a room with a great mountain view. Even though it was a studio unit, it was more roomier than other properties ‘1 bedroom’ units. Management look after your needs. It is also well on the affordable scale.
