    Bathroom shower sprayed water everywhere (had to point shower into corner to reduce spray but harder to wash) and heater above main bed clicks. Noise carriers between rooms.

    Good sized lodge. Kitchen had kettle and toaster and crockery to make own food. Comfortable beds with electric blankets.

    This part is not to be included in a public spot. I did not like seeing stuff stacked outside units. Housekeeping and buckets need to have homes inside closets. Unit 6 looked out at a bunch of stuff at a house.

    Location. But traveling mid week during the fall lots of places are closed.

    The water pipe was outside room so always can wear water flow sound when in use.

    Convenient location at fox glacier, with hot tub and DIY breakfast. Staff even organise free glow worm visit near the park, that was even better than going to the cave.

    We did assume there were views of the mountains from the lodge, based on pictures we had seen but there wasn’t from our cabin.

    Lovely mezzanine cabin, easy walk to local facilities. Clean and comfortable. Helpful, friendly staff.

    The facility host was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was ample. The host, unexpectedly to us, led those staying at the lodge on a 40 minute night walk to see glow worms. It was a great experience. The room was good-sized and included a sofa as well as the bed.

    The freezer was frozen over and couldn’t be opened. The room had a lot of dust which exacerbated my son’s asthma and made me sneeze every night. There were no power points in the bathroom. The fireplace is for show, as there are instructions to use the air conditioning for heating only.

    The nightly glow worm tour was awesome! The breakfast room was a different little touch. If your are taking a holiday tour from Fox Glacier, it’s walking distance to most operators, so super handy.

    Great location to town. The rooms are clean, quiet and away from the road. The entry steps to the office as well as the steps into our room need replacement soon. They are uneven and worn. The guided glow worm talk in the evening was a bonus. The guide was very informative and gave ample warning of terrain while walking in the dark.the unit is a loft so you need to manage stairs at night to use the restroom . The on site laundry was a bonus.

    Negatives: Breakfast had more of a communal self catering feel. The local area is hyper-touristy so good value food options were limited.

    Positives: Location for glacial activities; room quality; value for money.

    Good place to stop while exploring the West Coast. Modest, self-serve communal breakfast was nice way to meet other travelers. Glowworms can be seen on a nearby trail just up the road. However, the staff who lead our evening walk seemed annoyed with having been tasked with the outing and rushed through the walk, leaving many of us behind on an unfamiliar path in the dark. A trail map to explore independently would have been much better.
