Fox glacier is a sleepy town. If you want to stay more than 1 night, I would recommend Franz Joseph instead. The property is convenient and the woman who checked us in extremely nice and helpful. The bed was decent, but had a lump in the middle. Bathroom was large and very clean.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Despite booking months ago we were "double booked?" We were not contacted about this until we went to check in? We were sent to another facility which was a tiny gloomy room under a stairwell. After querying why we were not given the option of finding something else earlier we were treated to a lovely cooked breakfast the next morning which we appreciated. But we were utterly dissappoined with th situation.

The lady at reception was very welcoming. I had a lovely spa bath, which was such a treat. It took me quite a long time to figure out how to get water in the bath, so some instructions would have helped a lot. All in all, it was a wonderful stay.. thank you

Hot water seemed to be on a timer as both of our showers were cut short due to hot water just disappearing. Nice comfortable bed. Rooms could do with updating a little.
