I arrived at Fox Glacier just before 4pm and left at 8am the next morning, so I didn’t have a lot of time there. The one thing I wanted to do was go to Lake Matheson to see the reflections of Mt Cook and Mt Tasman in the water at sunset. Only problem was, I didn’t have a car or any way of getting there on my own. When I mentioned this to the hostel owner (I think?) upon check in, he said offered one of his bikes for me to take, and I managed to make it there in time for a beautiful sunset! This ended up being an absolute highlight and I couldn’t have done it without the generosity of the hostel owner. Despite the short time I had in Fox Glacier, he really helped make it unforgettable! The place itself was lovely. Kitchen was spacious, my room was cosy and warm, and the shower was excellent. If I could, I’d go back to Fox Glacier just to stay at Ivory Towers again!
Very Good

Excellent
We were so grateful to find Bella Vista. First they had a bath for soaking our cold, wet bodies and secondly they have ev charging facilities. Wonderful! The room was spacious, clean, warm, and comfortable. Thank you, Karen, for a wonderful stay. We left well rested after a crazy weather bomb of a day.
LLeoLiuLztFacilities: All necessary, you can cook in the room
Hygiene: clean and tidy
Environment: A very cozy cabin with electric blankets in winter. The location is excellent. If you want to check in at the supermarket or go hiking on the glacier, it is estimated to be 5 minutes away. It's also very close to drive to the trail for hiking, and the environment of the hotel itself is beautiful!
Service: Very enthusiastic. Whenever I see you, I will say hello. If I encounter any problem, I will find a way to help you solve it.
Liked · If the term ”Serentity” ever suited a location, it's the Mount Cook View Motel, the Motel's setting in Fox Glacier is at the base of Mount Cook. The Mount Cook View Motel is a one minute drive from the highway down a Dead End Road, so there is no passing traffic noise. The motel has a ranch/farm like setting in a unique leafy & grassy enviroment that leaves (not meant as a pun) you feeling at one with the environment & nature. The silence is almost deafening as you try & take in all the spectacular surroundings of snow capped peaks, clouds snagged on jagged mountain tops, in a spacious farmland retreat. Anyone trying to escape the hustle & bustle of the city, anyone who wants to write their own Tolstoy ”War & Peace” novel or just wants to escape from the kids for a quite weekend. Well this is the place for that. Fox Glacier town has restaurants, shops & stores, all that one needs for a weekend away with nature. We had a cabin type apartment, seperate bedroom, bathroom, kitchen & backyard patio with views you just have to experience to believe. All that & with parking at the door & an attached laundry next door. SENERITY NOW.
TTrail52119469210This was a real disappointment on arrival. It certainly didn’t feel 4*. The room was very tired, there was a kitchenette with all the equipment you might need, however, had to wash the cutlery as the knives were dirty. It looked as though there had only been a light cleaning done, but the beds were comfy and the shower was good. The area felt very run down, there was very limited choice of places to eat but we had a couple of really nice meals nearby. If we hadn’t been within a couple of minutes walk for the helicopter trip we’d booked, we wouldn’t have stayed. In fairness, it didn’t help there was torrential rain at the time, which never helps. There was a minute terrace outside, but only about 10feet from the neighbouring property, whose windows looked right into our room. We did ask if there was another room available but were told no, despite the sign outside saying there were vacancies.
GGuest UserWe stayed here for two nights and had issues with this place as follows: 1. Arriving at check in an elderly Chinese lady appeared at reception, dialled a number on her phone and pointed to it. I was connected with her son who’s somewhere else and did check in with him by phone….really ?? 2. The first room we were given had no wifi as it was so far away from reception. We asked to be moved, by phone again, and we provided with another room where the wifi worked. 3. The lid on the kettle was broken and fell off when filling. 4. The hot water pressure appears almost non existent and, in the mornings when everyone was showering, there was almost no water coming out of the shower and this morning I got up at 6am to shower early but still almost no pressure and took forever to get hot. 5. The bed was super springy and didn’t feel very much like quality at all. On the upside, there’s plenty of parking as very few people in the motel ( I wonder why ? ) and the motel is close to the Main Street of Fox Glacier. I always review our hotels on our trips and 99% of the time give glowing reviews but this place is having a lend at almost $200 Aud per night. No English speaking, no welcome, no facilities no water pressure and by the looks of it, no guests. You can do much better elsewhere
FfslimaiWhen we arrived, the receptionist was out, so our order was posted on the glass outside. We looked at the name and found the room number and went directly to the room. The key was hanging on the keyhole at the door. The room was well-equipped, but we were too lazy to cook, so we found a popular restaurant 100 meters away from us.
