We stayed at the Fox Glacier Lodge for two evenings. The staff at the lodge were amazing. They went above and beyond to answer any of our questions about the town. At night time, they offered a free walk to see the glow worms which was just around the corner from the lodge.

The property was good. No issues except images used for promotion of property were not the same as the actual room. Also communal kitchen was great but not an ensuite.

Friendly staffs and owners. The owner hosted a free glowworms tour every night in the forest beside the lodge. He’s very experienced and also told us many fun facts on glowworms. Overall a clean lodge at a very convenient location. The only small downside is the stove for cooking in the room is not very strong, so it might take awhile if you want to do self-cooking. Will definitely recommend friends to stay at this place when they visit fox glacier.

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.

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.

This is my extended review The above was all for expedia not fox glacier lodge because I never went there in the search for mount cook it said fox lodge was 10km so we booked it after our 5 hour hike we put address in gps and it said 5 hours 45 minutes …..10 km is if you were to go across the mountain which was obviously impossible since there are no roads on the mountain I called the fox lodge and they said they have asked numerous times for Expedia to not put there listing as a accommodation for Mt Cook but Expedia has not done that so out of country visitors are screwed because they have no idea until it is too late Expedia would NOT refund the money even though it is obviously was there mistake What a utter lack of customer service and to top it off we had no lodging for the evening Really????? What a joke!!!! After all the business I have given them over the years you would think that they would have gone out of their way…. Never again will I use Expedia!!! I’m sure Fox lodge is great but Expedia needs a wake up call

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!
