Parking outside is an extra charge, the room was small and no equipment that we expected. No view of the lake, but a good look at the car park outside, or through trees to a big carpark. Noisy in the evening, and an inadequate fan.

The lady who checked us in was helpful and welcoming. The room was very small. Visually it appeared clean but there was a strong urinal-like smell throughout that made our stay very uncomfortable. We had to leave all windows open and the fan working but still couldn't sleep with the strong smell.

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.

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.
