P
Grest place to stop over and explore glacierland
We were super-comfortable in our small suite with everything we needed for a thoroughly enjoyable 3 night stay.
There were wonderful views out on to the Fox range mountains, and only a 5min walk from the excellent and very atmosphetic Cook and Saddle cafe.
Lake Matheson with its memorable rainforest walk, the mirrored reflections of Mtns Tasman and Cook, and the welcoming cafe offering excellent fare to eat and drink - as well as a local artist's gallery - was a real bonus.
Thanks, Andy, for a rest stay!

Nigel
Everything we needed
We had a comfortable 3 night stay in a very clean Studio unit, equipped with a kitchenette that had a fridge, microwave, small oven and a two ring electric hob, toaster, kettle and electric frying pan - ideal for producing simple meals.
Tea, coffee and biscuits were provided, plus a small bottle of milk on arrival.
The ensuite shower provided plenty of hot water at impressive pressure.
We had a couple of chairs and a small table.
Parking available immediately outside our unit.
It was quiet and we slept well.
Our host, Andy, was very friendly and gave us useful pointers on the walks/sights in both Fox and Franz Joseph - this helped us get the most out of our time there. His dog Stella was also very friendly.
Having SKY TV allowed us to watch the Super Rugby - bonus!
We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Verified traveler
Good accommodation but a little tired
Ok accommodation but probably needs some updating.
Charles
Comfortable is not fancy. Close to everything,whichc isn't saying much as it is Fox Glacier.
Geoff
A lovely unit, very clean and well looked after, close to shops and cafes, and everything interesting around Fox Glacier. Staff at the motel are easy-going, and very helpful and friendly. We'll definitely be staying there again next time we're in the area. Highly recommended.
Frantz
This place was so nice. The view over the mountain right behind was great, as well as being close to Fox glacier, whether to go for a hike close by, or get a great viewpoint over it. The whole area is so peaceful. The person who takes care of the place was also really friendly, and this makes the difference!!
Graham John
Friendly owner who was happy to discuss area plus lovely room and location was perfect for trip and evening meal
Anthony
Close to great views.
Stephanie
Sweet motel. Great size in a beautiful area. Loved having a Nespresso machine with coffee! Only negatives were that the refrigerator had not been cleaned at the bottom and there was sticky goo. Also, housekeeping played music very loud in the mornings after others checked out but we were staying another night. But the surroundings are beautiful and the cottages were adorable.
Cameron
Good accommodation in a small town. Comfortable room, plenty of space with all amenities required. Staff suggested dining options which were perfect. Really happy and pleasant stay

Alan
A great property to stay at, conveniently located a few hundred metres from the main street and close to the attractions. The room was very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities that you could need. The staff were friendly and obliging. Will stay there again if in the area
Alan
Nice views & garden. Inside accommodation was small, dated & basic, glasses were dirty.
Yong Siong
A good rest stop. Facility is a bit dated but amenities were in good working conditions. Just that the wifi signal is very weak most of the time. Nice mountain view.
Stuart
Great property for a stay in this beautiful area
Kwan Hock
Expensive with basic amenities
Adam
Pretty spot with restaurant two doors down (need to book even though it says bookings not accepted). Really nice pub up the road and only a few minutes drive to Lake Matheson.
Michael
One night only, very good, nice sleep.
Ian
Great, friendly owner. Fantastic motel.
Owner, Andy,was so helpful after we had a passport issue at previous motel which was proving very unhelpful with our issue. He arranged for a friend to go pick up passport and send it on to our next motel thus saving us the hassle of an eight hour return trip, ensuring our holiday could continue as planned. He was friendly and helpful from the moment we checked in. Apart from his help the motel is also excellent: spacious rooms, excellent facilities and cracking views from the patio. Also very close to restaurants/bars and Fox Glacier. Cannot recommend Andy and the Rainforest Motel highly enough. Ian
Gaynor

nicola
The property was in a great location for an overnight stay.
Paul
Nice place, clean & quiet.Would use again
Mark
Mathew was awesome to deal with. He called to alert us the highway was closed due to heavy rain and surface flooding and shifted our booking to the next night for no additional fee. The room was very clean and the bed super comfortable. An excellent place to stay in Fox. His dog Stella was very friendly and our dog enjoyed meeting her. Next time we're in the area we will definitely stay here again. AAA
Robert

Ridzuan
Friendly and helpful staff. Gave us a map of nearby attractions & shops, and recommended us the best time to visit Lake Matheson so we could get a nice reflection view of the mountains. Room was clean and spacious. Basic amenities available. There is a laundry room avaible too, costing NZD 2 each to use the washing machine and dryer. Satisfied with our stay here.

The service provided was outstanding, including the manager/owner taking time out from his busy day to advise me of the best options to eat, walk the dog, and local sites to see. I found the Motel to be a wonderful site for reflection and the setting is very powerful in nature. I would recommend to anyone as a great place to refresh the mind. I will be revisiting with family soon.

Will come back!
Spacious rooms with lovely grassy area. Host provided some awesome tips that really made our stay! Loved how easy it was to bring our dog. Everything was great!

Convenient and cozy
This is a very convenient location, literally 2 mins from the little township and about a minute from the nearest restaurant. In addition, the views from just outside the room/cabin is spectacular, with the snow capped mountains on display.
The rooms are neat, warm (it was the height of winter) and have all the conveniences required.
The guy running the place was friendly, informative and down to earth - even has a dog to play with.
Close to the natural beauty of Lake Mathsone, which is just another reason to visit.

We had a very enjoyable stay that was excellent value for money. The room was in good condition, very clean and tidy. Water pressure in the shower is extremely good. The owners dog is very friendly and enjoys getting lots of pats.

A few small repairs needed. Upholstered chair had loose wooden leg, light switches needed attention. BUT welcome from dog and cat on arrival was lovely. We were upgraded which was much appreciated.
