Literally nothing. If I was forced to say something I liked I would offer that at least the room was nearly suitable for my dog... If I hated my dog

We loved our stay here. Great hosts, especially Trish who took good care of us. Breakfast was a standout, with fantastic conversation and history of the area. Although we are New Zealanders, it was really good to interact like a tourist and enjoy the history update at the breakfast table.

There was nothing to fault
The location was perfect and the house very spacious. The views of Mount Tasman and Mount Cook from the house were amazing. The rooms were a lovely size, each with a view. Thank you for a perfect stay and would thoroughly recommend.

Fox Glacier is quite stunning, walk is relatively easy to first viewing point, we didn't get any further due to bad weather. Lovely eating places in town and a grocery store. Quite a small town so very quiet. We weren't there long enough to really explore the area

As a hiker I loved the lakes walks, and also the glacier lookout walk would have been great but the weather on that day was just too wet to complete. The lake Matheson cafe is a lovely place after a hike or good breakfasts beforehand. The town is limited, so if I wasn’t a hiker I would only have stayed a night and moved on.

There are several interesting walks to the glacier, lake etc. The helicopter to the glacier itself can be booked easily from the town. There are a number of good restaurants within easy walking distance. A overnight stay is all that is required to see & do everything.

We did the short tramp to Fox Glacier.
We did the short tramp to Fox Glacier. It’s totally worth the effort.
It’s only 30min drive to Franz Joseph where we tramped the 5 hr Roberts Point track. Reasonably arduous tramp, but again totally worth the effort.
Heartland Hotel Glacier Country is conveniently located at State Highway 6 and close to the Fox Glacier and a number of cafes/restaurants. We did a Mt Cook and Fox Glacier flight with snow landing with a company almost next door to the hotel and it was a fantastic experience.
The hotel is just about 30 minutes drive from the Franz Josef glacier and about 5km from Lake Matheson, which has a very good Fox Glacier lookout.
Location was perfect! Short drive to town and walking distance to a popular eatery, Betsey Jane. Room and bathroom were very clean. I personally loved the heated mattress topper. The staff was very helpful in guiding us into things to do and see around Fox Glacier. She also answered our questions about things to do in Franz Josef as we were driving there the next day.
At reception, we were greeted by the wonderful Martin. He did not hesitate to take on the task of getting our bags out of the car and up to our room. When we checked out, his expert advice on how to best view Fox Glacier was invaluable and made for a truly unforgettable positive experience. We thank him again via this review.
Where you can park for free and park right in front of the motel. Location is awesome! Close to all the sight seeing places and restaurants. The owners are attentive to our needs. The view from the backyard and front yard are awesome. The fresh milk for our coffee was an added bonus. Fox Glacier is awesome!
Fox Glacier Lodge was a really nice place to stay. The room we had was large and comfortable and the staff offered a free glow worm walk at night. The location is right near the Minnehaha walk and a short drive from lake Matheson and the Fox Glacier viewpoint. We only had one night here, but enjoyed our stay!
A grand old dame. Somewhat tired, but loved nonetheless. Not too many options in Fox Glacier but this seemed one of the best on offer. The room was comfortable and served its purpose. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to use the laundromat which was handy and breakfast was okay.
We were so welcomed from the beginning of our stay and we felt right at home. We were able to use the kitchen freely to cook. The lodge is walking distance to the Fox Glacier tour. Free glo-worm tours in the evening — I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting, 10/10
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.
The location was great - very close to Fox Glacier township but quite rural and very quiet. Spectacular views to the mountains! An extensive and really good breakfast and our hosts, Trish and Colin, were friendly, with good advice and suggestions.
Fox Glacier is a very small township with a number of motels and the Rainforest was on par with the competition on appearance and location. There is nothing flash about this motel, but it served the purpose as it was clean and cosy.
Nice Motel in the small town of Fox Glacier. Very friendly staff. Room setting was fine with two bedrooms. Quite and a good place to explore the nature. Good restaurant just next door. Good price level.
A wonderful spot to stay in Fox Glacier. Comfortable beds and rooms and plenty of toilets and showers. The kitchen was decently big and several places to sit in groups or alone.
Misty Peaks was the perfect place to stay for my group of 11. Very comfortable. Handy location to Fox Glacier CBD, cafe's etc We would all definitely stay there again.
