We stayed in at the Westhaven Motel for one night… The room was really clean, sunny and spacious with no views at all… No real complains about the room or the stay itself. However, compared to our other NZ accommodations, this motel was slightly overpriced. The motel can probably get away with it since Fox Glacier is a small town... more

This motel is just across the road from Fox Guiding centre, so it's convenient if you're taking the Glacier tours. The reception was helpful and the room was clean and comfortable but nothing to rave about, although the friendly neighbourhood poodle did pop by to say hello. We stayed here for 2 nights and spent a fair bit eating out... more

Another one of our best hotels in the trip. Very large 2 bedroom and large toilet. Very clean and modern except for the TV which was too small for the other bed further away. Friendly staff at the reception and convenient in center of town between lake Matheson and Fox glacier. It could have been better if there were full... more

Ideal for exploring the glacier and surrounding area, this is a very comfortable motel. Rooms are very a very good size and well kept, easy access from car. Front desk friendly and helpful. As it's in Fox the surrounding views are spectacular, very close to all other amenities. Straightforward place, no signifcant downsides more

nice stay

To go see Fox Glacier, you usually have to spend a night in Fox Glacier. There are no great options so we chose this. For what we paid, it wasnt a great deal but its a fine motel. We slept, they had some tv channels, and we could walk to town. Nothing exciting about the room really but it did... more

As far as value for money - this motel just didn't stack up to motels we stayed at for the same cost. The room was very basic - and a bit dated. No LCD TV and table area for eatting small and narrow. Basic continental breakfast was supplied with small tetra orange/mango drink - no fresh orange juice like we... more

We only stayed here for one night. Shelley was very friendly and helpful. She saw that we parked our rental car in the lot earlier than the check-in time. Shelley, who was walking around the facility greeted us. She gave us a quick overview of the town and recommended places to eat and hikes to take. She was very helpful!... more

This is a wonderful find in Fox Glacier! Great reception and information for a nice quick stay in the area. Recommended all the highlights and we were able to make the most of our short stay. Room was very spacious and had electric blankets which made for a nice, cozy rest. The lady (forgot the name) that checked us in... more

We booked a Deluxe King Suite and that's certainly what we got! The rooms were enormous with high, raking ceilings. Comfortable beds. Fantastic views of the snow peaked mountains out of the rear floor to ceiling windows. Breathtaking. Upon checking in, we were greeted by Diane who was most happy to point out the features of the town, and where... more
