We liked that the motel is near the town centre so getting our daily supplies was easy and is also nearer to Lake Matheson. The motel is a little dated which is understandable based on the value we got from the stay. There were 2 guard dogs (one black and one brown) that roam around the motel. The doggos were adorable and well-trained. Some visitors may not be comfortable with the dogs but we were fine with their company.

Nice kitchen and good view of Mount Cook from the motel! We were greeted by a horse when we arrived. Clean, quiet, and a good heating system, which kept us warm indoors during a cold autumn day.

Simple and delightful

Very relaxing and home like stay. Came in with low expectations since this was a small motel ( in my mind ). But was blown away by the thoughtfulness of the setup. Arrived late but the keys were all set up and ready for us without hassle. Comfortable room with kitchenette and upgraded interiors . Very friendly communication both prior and during stay. Very peaceful and away from the hustle of the main motorway. Would have loved to stay longer . Kids rate it higher than some of the larger commercial hotels we stayed in. Thank you!

I cannot speak highly enough of this property. It has the most spectacular views of Mt. Cook, is close to Lake Matheson and the glacier view point. The room was freshly painted, new carpets and beds were super comfy. The host, Matt is a gentleman. For my family, he moved heaven and earth to help. Next time I'm in Fox Glacier, I would only stay there. Oh and the dog is a beauty too.
