We arrived at Ropatini's B&B in pelting rain, to a very warm welcome from Trish. She kindly upgraded us to the purpose built unit in the grounds of the establishment. Delicious cake, warm conversation , and the offer of umbrellas won us over from the start.. We took up her recommendation to go on the Minehaha walk which was great.... more

You will not disappoint by staying here. We are very happy with the stay. Trish and Collin are very helpful. The dinner was great, excellent home made food( even better than some of the restaurants in town) and plenty of food available. Breakfast offers a range of varieties. It was great to meet other guests and talk about their Nz... more

Ropatini’s B&B Trish and Colin made us very welcome – there are great views of Mounts Cook and Aspiring, and about 10 minutes drive down the road they are on is a simply incredible view of the whole mountain range. We stayed two nights in one of the two rooms in a purpose built unit which is about 20 metres... more

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel at home. Trish and Collin create a relaxed atmosphere, and offered us lots of useful tips about what to do, based on their extensive experience in the tourist industry in the area. We had booked an evening meal with them, and were not disappointed: a lamb shank each (enough for... more

Fox is a lovely place to visit and we would highly recommend it for glacier trips and the lovely Lake Matheson. The excellent location of this B&B helped us to make the most of our stay. And whilst most things were fine, we never quite felt that as much effort was put into this B&B as in the others which... more

At $240 per night, the studio room represented the poorest vale of any place we stayed at in NZ. Otherwise ok. more

Just loved it from the beginning till the end ! When we arrived Trish showed herself as a perfect host: she gave us lots of advices and information (do the Minnehaha walk!), didn't hesitate to make bookings for us, it was lovely to chat with her. The room was very comfortable, we had the ensuite room within the house, with... more

Fox Glacier is well-worth visiting. Stay at Ropatini's and you won't be sorry. Nice people and nice place--including their beautiful table, stones, and more. Unfortunately the clouds covered the view, but in good weather it is undoubtedly beautiful. Trish gave us wonderful suggestions. Do not leave the area without taking the time to go to the short Minnehaha walk just... more

We did think the garden room was overpriced but we more than made up for that with the warmth and hospitality provided by Trish and Colin and the wonderful evening meal we had. It was excellent value for money. As other reviewers have said the view of the mountains is spectacular. Breakfast was great and we did all the things... more

I am a devoted Tripadvisor user and have relied on this site almost exclusively for all my hotel selections across the world. I must say this is the only time I felt let down by my expectations. Ropatini was the only B&B available when I shifted my itinerary at the last minute and the host was very good with emails.... more
