Nice lodge with everything we needed. Very friendly checkin and helpful. well located to town and walking to dining options. Rooms are a good size but could do with some bench top or shelf space. We enjoyed the stay and would stay there again.

Gives free glow worm walk
We are surprised they give a free walk to see glow worms in a nearby park. Really nice to see the glow worms. The room is clean and comfortable. We just wish the wifi is a bit stronger for connection.

2 nights in Fox Glacier
It was an amazing experience to stay in a wooden cabin. There were adequate facilities including a fully equipped kitchenette. The staff is friendly and they also offer a Glowworm spotting walking tour at 7 pm.
Overall, very good experience and would recommend in Fox Glacier area.

We had a spotlessly clean room for 3 right next door to the community kitchen. We were also able to put our bottles in the community kitchen to freeze for the next day in our ice chest. Management was extremely friendly and even brought us some ice cubes! The property is walkable to the small shops in town and we saw several restaurants. The property appears older and shares room for RVs and campers though that was no issue. We highly recommend this property!

The ambiance created by the Lodge truly captured my Fox Glacier mountain experience. As a female Solo traveller I found it warm, friendly, and loved the shared kitchen with every whim catered for. Lovely to interact with fellow travellers and also retire to my own space/balcony for privacy.
