About
Bella Vista Motel Fox Glacier is easy to find, located right in the heart of the Fox Glacier Village. Only a few minutes’ walk from shops, cafés and restaurants. Fox Glacier Guiding and Heli Tours are only 328 feet away, ask us about making your booking. World famous Lake Matheson (The Mirror Lake) is only a short 5-minute drive and a beautiful place to take advantage of the most picturesque glacier views in the area. In the evening why not take a stroll through the Fox Glacier Glow Worm Forrest, the track starts right next to the motel. Just 20 minutes from its bigger cousin Franz Josef, in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, Fox Glacier offers a slightly more intimate glacier experience. Our superior Fox Glacier accommodations includes a variety of studios and one-bedroom units. Our purpose-built units have been designed with convenience and comfort in mind. You have a choice of king, queen or single beds. Each room has a kitchenette with a toaster, refrigerator, tea and coffee making facilities and some with microwaves and cooktops. Also, you can take advantage of our outdoor BBQ and seating area. All units have double glazing which ensures a quiet night’s sleep. Fast Wi-Fi Internet is available throughout the property.

Location!
Was expensive but limited places to stay in the area and holiday season, so makes sense!
This was a great place to stay after a long day of driving and visiting the glaciers. Very comfortable room with many amenities. Reception was very helpful and gave us lots of information for the area.
We liked everything!
It was very comfortable and clean. Great location too. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful.
Very close to our activities. Nice accommodations that are well kept. Front desk lady was extremely nice and helped us plan our day at Fox Glacier.
Reception was so welcoming! They provided great recommendations for Glow Worm hike and seeing the glacier. Laundry facilities were great.
Room had everything we wanted. It was handy to the places we wanted to visit. Receptionist was excellent and produced good advice on places to see and visit.
I liked everything
Great location, reasonable price and comfortable room.
Room was small and a bit dated.
Reception provided excellent insight to the Fox Glacier area and its highlights and amenities. The town is very small so everything, including heli-tours, was very convenient. The property was clean, modern and contemporary.
Beaut hotel in central locallity inFox Glacier.Very friendly helpful and lovely reception. Ticked all my boxes for comfort convenience and value for money. NOTE !!!If travelling nth from Haast, google maps will say road closed- it is not closed, only some road works.
Nothing. It was great
Prompt and friendly communication, good parking, uncomplicated late check-in, spotlessly clean room - overall great value for money. We arrived late and left the next morning, so spent only little time at the motel, but it was absolutely sufficient for our purposes, and we wouldn't have minded staying a couple of nights more.
Location close to town, Very Comfortable beds, Great shower, Friendly staff.
Skid marks in toilet, Very dusty on top shelves, musky smell, small & poky, over priced $250+ for one night,
The motel was clean and comfortable. The lady at the front desk, Karen, was super friendly and helpful. She gave us a room on the ground floor next to our parked car, recommended a great restaurant for dinner, and helped us to confirm our reservation to our motel the next night at Wanaka.
Clean and comfortable. Convinent location
No breakfast. Cooking facilities limited
Nice big room upstairs (superior king) with a very comfortable bed. Well equipped kitchenette, good size bathroom. Great location.
The fan in the bathroom was a little noisy...
