Hotel vicini a Fox Glacier Te Moeka o Tuawe Valley Walk a Fox Glacier

Il bagno era riscaldato e il letto era caldo e confortevole. Stargaze sulla veranda condivisa o guardare gli alberi illuminati con luci luminose sulla corta pista Minehaha nella foresta vicino alla porta. Possibili viste di uccelli nativi e di pellicce o possum non nativi. Ristoranti e altre aziende sono a meno di 5 minuti a piedi dall'hotel. Lavanderia pulita. Fox Glacier Village è anche più vicino al Lago Matheson per camminare e colazione al caffè.

We stayed upstairs in a queen bed room in the main lodge. The room was large and well appointed. We were very comfortable and enjoyed all of the windows we could open to control the temperature. They offer a guided walk to see some glowworms in the forest nearby. It was a very fun walk, even though it was raining. It was a nice bonus. The facilities are somewhat minimal but we knew that going into it. We enjoyed making ourselves breakfast in the morning and talking to some of our fellow guests around the table. It was a different stay than the other hotels we used on our trip and we found it to be memorable and fun as a result.

Cinque persone sono in viaggio, sono economiche, e se il bagno puo'piu'uno. La posizione di trasporto è conveniente, andare al lago Matterson, e i buchi di incendio sono in 55 minuti di guida.

We stayed here one night. Franz Josef Glacier is a nicer place to stay, but we wanted to be positioned at Fox Glacier so we were better positioned to do the early morning walk to Lake Matheson. Many of the accommodation options in Fox are closed due to COVID, others seemed to me to be ridiculously expensive. This place looked okay on paper. I booked on line. When we arrived our first impression was that it was closed. The entrance looks unkempt and the car park area is full of ****s. However there was a woman behind the reception counter. The first thing she wanted was for me to pay in cash, because their eftpos machine was not working. Needless to say I did not have enough cash - who carries much cash around these days? I asked her if there was an ATM in town, but she did not know. I logged onto their wi-fi to find for myself that there is no ATM in Fox Glacier, the nearest being in Franz Josef. We were not driving back to Franz Josef to get some cash! On reflection, at this point, I should have said we would go elsewhere, but instead I offered to try and get some cash out in the town in conjunction with buying a meal. We were allowed to drop our gear in the room and we drove back into town (hotel is a little distance outside the township). Not many options for a meal, but we found a very decent burger and chips at a cafe. But they could not provide me with the amount of cash I needed for the hotel. Back to the hotel, to be told the eftpos had been fixed - presumably by the guy we saw arriving as we left to go back into town. So we paid for the room and settled in for an early night. We were the only occupants. The owners/operators didn't appear to live on site, so we must have been the only people in the building overnight. There was absolutely no sign of life and it was a bit spooky. They did not provide any phone number to contact anyone if we had a problem. The rooms are nice enough - spacious and comfortable, with everything you need. There was mould on the curtains. The hotel restaurant is of course closed at the moment, thanks to COVID. Reception hours were something like 9am to 7pm. We left in the morning about 7.30am. Not a soul to be seen. We left our room key in the box on the reception counter, unlocked the main door to leave the building and departed. Had to leave the door unlocked. This was not a pleasant experience, but I am sure it would have been better if things had been ”normal”, and COVID was not hurting everything. We would definitely not consider returning to this hotel.

The host was welcoming and provided us with helpful information pertaining to local walks, restaurants, etc. The room was of a good size with nice, clean furniture. The King Sized bed was comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets if needed. A super-efficient heater was a bonus. Plenty of hot water and good pressure. The only (very small) negative was the room slept three people but there was only cutlery for two people - thankfully we didn't have a third person! Excellent covered parking right outside the unit. All in all, we recommend this motel, and would definitely stay here again if in the area. It is just off the main road, so nice and quiet with friendly hosts and easy walking to the local restaurants and the main road for grocery items. (PS - Highly recommend Betsey Jane for dinner - just a few doors down from this motel)

Brilliant location and views, amazing cabins and quiet. We decided to stay here for 2 nights after the rain had settled in and slow our trip down. The location is approximately 5 kilometres out of Franz Josef itself but the benefit is the peace and quiet and large cabins. The cabins had a well kitted out full kitchen, large lounge and dining room and good sized bathroom. There were 2 heaters in the room which kept us toastie warm all night. There were DVDs in the reception for you to use free of charge and the gentleman at the reception was friendly and gave us some fresh milk to enjoy a cuppa with upon arrival. We will definitely be going back and staying on our next trip to NZ.

Molto buon hotel, il signor Gibbin sarà gratuito per il servizio di autobus, il personale della reception è anche amichevole e entusiasta. Le domande saranno risposte e soddisfatte. Il pranzo è 5 pranzi. Il servizio è anche molto buono, molto soddisfatto. La prossima volta che andiamo sulla costa occidentale, sceglieremo.

This is a find, had the most friendliest greeting ever, we had a lovely spacious cabin, heating was on when we entered which was nice, it’s in a lovely setting and no noise, the chalet was fully equipped, bed and pillows were so comfy didn’t want to move, our hostess made sure we were ok, and even came and sat with us for a while, her name was Stella, and even came and fussed us when we were leaving. By the way Stella is a loving dog , better than any hotel, definitely recommend the rainforest motel

La stanza era nuova, in buona riparazione con molti apparecchi, tra cui una microonde, un frigo da letto, un tostapane e una caldaia elettrica per il tè) e una mini-cucina (intervallo elettrico a due bruciatori). Il bagno ha un tubo di stile jacuzzi che non poteva essere utilizzato a causa di un avviso di bollire acqua dal fornitore locale. Due cose ci hanno tenuto al di sopra: il personale del dipartimento frontale ha parlato solo cinese mandarino (Abbiamo controllato via teleconferenza con qualcuno che presumo sia suo figlio o partner d'affari) e il consigliere dell'acqua calda. Questo motel sembra essere destinato principalmente a gruppi di tour cinesi, per i quali almeno il primo non sarebbe di norma un problema. Poiché il mio partito era l'unico apparentemente all'epoca all'hotel, ho letto da questo che il loro negozio è principalmente in estate, quando probabilmente sarebbero meglio dotati, altrimenti un buon soggiorno.

La nostra notte è stata divertita in uno studio esecutivo. Le bagni sono ben attrezzate con acqua calda e buona pressione. La camera dispone di un frigorifero e di cucina con un bel bagno in acciaio inossidabile. La proprietà è in una posizione tranquilla - ascolta gli uccelli che si sgridano al mattino e c'è una bella vista al monte Cook. Gavin era un ospite sorprendente - niente era troppo difficile.
