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.

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!

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.

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 loved the friendly guy in reception, he was very helpful. We didn't like the cleanliness of the room, found lots of places that weren't clean. An area in the bathroom next to the bath still had a lot of hair and fluff like it hadn't been cleaned in awhile.

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.

Nice Hotel in Fox Glassier which it is near Franz Josef Glacier (FJG). Hotel located on the road and great value. It is about 30 minutes from FJG but ok. Independent units with a chalet style with all you might need.

Our chalet was very comfortable, and cosy. It was quiet, but central to the cafes and supermarket in the main street. A beautiful breakfast was included, and the kitchenette was great. The chalet was clean, with parking at the door.

We stayed one night, room was reasonably clean, staff was super friendly. Breakfast is included, very basic but enough to start the day. The bread on the table appeared to be homemade and was very good. Small kitchen area for everyone trying to cook breakfast at the same time but doable. All in all a good experience.

What a wonderful place to stay nestled in the tropical rainforests and mountains. Our room was extremely clean and had everything we would need. The owners were fabulous. We checked in after hours and they went out of their way to accommodate us! Loved the short distance to the glowworm forest and good dinning.

Although the pictures of the property online were quite attractive the actual property was lacking in appeal. The room carpeting was dirty and looked like it hadn’t been replaced in too many years to even guess. The room had a musty smell and anyone with allergies or breathing issues (me) would have issues. The handrails were covered with metal which was slippery, impossible to grip and was either HOT or cold and dangerous to anyone who required a rail to hold going up the stairs. Rating this property with a 2 would be generous.
