Fox Glacier Motellit

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

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: The host was very nice and friendly, informed the places to go. Room is so big and warm, provided with electrical blanket. Kitchen equiped with inductuon stove and dining equipment. There is big n warm bathroom also. Definetely will stay there again in the future.

Clothes drying racks were available at laundry for airing clothes back in rooms

Plussat: The location was good, short walking distance from the small town.

Miinukset: There were toenail clippings in the carpet, the pillow cases had a layer of dirt on them, there were black hairs on the sheets and doona cover, there was toothpaste spit on the mirror, the tiled floor was sticky and had not been mopped, there was food in the bed, there was grease all over the hot plate handles, the heater did not work. Along with this, the “customer service” was non-existent. The property stated that it was pay at property, however I was forced to pay beforehand. When we arrived, there was no one at reception, just a piece of A4 paper stuck to the locked door showing me and other guests where our rooms were - in Australia it is illegal to make it known to other guests where everyone is staying, not sure about NZ. When we called to complain, there was no answer, and to this day - about a week after our stay - I have not received a response via phone or email to the phone calls and emails I sent.

Plussat: Superb staff, extremely friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions/places to visit/eat.
