Bella Vista Motel Fox Glacier

Lovely warm welcome from the gentleman on reception, he was smiley, interested in us, chatty and most of all helpful. He gave us great advice on how best to see the Fox Glacier. Such a lovely welcome made us feel instantly at home. Our room was brilliant, just the right size to be comfortable without being too small or big. Very comfortable, good sized, double bed, and the blackout curtains meant we slept extremely well. Great to have own kettle, mugs, plates, cutlery etc. All very clean. We especially liked the space-aged shower cubicle, it was much bigger inside than it looked and spotlessly clean. Loved this place, would happily move in!! Happy to recommend.

The motel is on the main road, but quiet, and close to everything. The apartment was super clean and the bathroom was spacious. The whole area is beautiful, rainforest, and there are glowworms in the forest just behind the accomodation. The owner lady was very kind, she recommended us some nearby sights accessible by foot, as we had no car. There was a supermarket in town and you could get to Franz Joseph, Fox Glacier and lake Matheson. One of our favourite spots during our travels in New Zealand.

We stayed here for one night on way through to south and was a well appointed room. Weather was awful so we struggled to dry our clothes, perhaps an airer would be useful for this wet weather area? Manager was lovely with lots of recommendations for guests and information on the planned road closures. The weather knocked the power out and the internet was very weak before the storm began and out completely during the storm. Was nice to have a recycling bin!

Purely a stopover and located close to the cafes in town for dinner and a drink at night and quick toasties and coffee in the morning. Close to Fox Glacier walk just down the road.

Staff were fantastic and location great and easy to find. The room was very confortable and bathroom modern. Facilities were great
