Lake Matheson Motel

The view, upgrade, hospitality and clean.

Light switch in bedroom a bit far away to reach.

Friendly staff. Very welcoming. We got Nice 2 bed room apartment. Very clean and tidy. Made us feel at home. I had 6 month old baby and never had any problem with our overnight stay. Just loved the nice and warm beds. Very cosy. I would highly recommend this place. A++++

I pretty much liked everything about this place.

Staff were very friendly. During stay there was a blackout and the owner visited each unit to check on visitors and ensure that we all had lights. Room was spacious and comfortable, kitchen facilities were great, bathroom was a good size. Guest laundry on site with washers and driers for a reasonable fee. Clothes drying racks were available at laundry for airing clothes back in rooms

Spacious room. Clean bathroom. The facilities are really great.

We were welcomed by the great hospitality of the owner. I like her smile and she introduced the motel and the town in detail. Also, the day before we arrived Fox, we worried about the road connection between Fox and FJ as the bridge is broken by heavy rain. We called and asked the owners and she explain the condition to us clearly to ease our worries. The room is as same as the picture shown in the booking website. The room is sparkling clean and bright, more than I expected. The water supply is strong and stable, which is very important in May. I particularly like the sliding glass door and the canopy in front of the room. There’s a bit common area in the middle which make the motel more spacious. Although we stayed in Fox for one night only, we enjoyed so much here especially after a long drive from Wanaka.

The wall is not thick , so it is easy to listen to the sounds by adjacent room if the guests talk loudly. Luckily our adjacent guests did not disturb us much after evening. A small suggestion is: when the motel is not fully booked, different group of guests can be separated by one vacant room to solve the problem.
