A convenient motel with all the facilities we needed for self-catering in the centre of Fox Glacier and an easy drive to all the major tourist attractions. We were only there one night but would have been happy to use as a base for a longer stay.

I didnt like the "kitchenette". Very, very difficult to cook in - small (little tiny counter). You should count on sandwiches, eating out or ordering in.

Bad wifi and the residential properties around the motel had their dogs barking all night. Room was not cleaned as thoroughly as it should've been. Good location for sleeping after hiking though.
