L’appartement était très spacieux et très bien équipé.
L’accueil : une personne répétant mécaniquement son discours sans aucune chaleur.

l'emplacement parfait pas loin du glacier et des lacs pour faire de belles randonnées

The location was write in town looking out to the snow capped mountains and forest. The room ticked all the boxes. Stove, fridge. Very convenient to visit all the places of interest such as the foxes glacier and Mathesons Lake.

Great location, near by (small) town center and Minnehaha walk with amazing views of mountains. Staff was amazing specially Mathew who was extraordinarily helpful. He got our helicopter ride fixed, arranged our trip to Lake Matheson as it was difficult without car to go 6 km, do 5 km lake circuit (I covered all the major viewing points) come back with family (specially with 4 year old kid).He himself dropped us there and picked up.
It was most amazing stay outside our home. Highly recommend this for whosoever intends to visit Fox Glacier.
There was nothing to dislike there

Location was satisfactory with the other services such as the pub etc. were all within walking distance. Once again the motel needed a lot of money spent on it.
This motel was tired and worn out. It needed a complete make over with many of the fittings needing to be replaced and the interior was crying out for a complete refurbish.

I want to give a special shout out to Matt for being so helpful with my booking for a helicopter ride out of Fox Glacier. Although things didn’t go as hoped in the end, it certainly wasn’t because he didn’t go above and beyond to try and I’m grateful for that.
