A great view !”
The room really had everything we needed for one night. What we didn’t like was the really bad isolation, we heard our neighbors talking and packing.. But all in all it was an okay one night stay - amazing view on Fox Glacier.

Good views but facilities need massive improvement”
Very good location of motel as the name suggests you can see the sunset best from your motel room’s backyard. Some upgrading needed for the rooms and toilet which looks very dated. Nice hosts as well! Recommended for a one night stopover as Fox is a small town.

Simple but have everything you need.”
Had a great stay at Sunset Motel for 1 night at Fox Glacier. It was raining when i reached there and no activities could be done e.g. Snow Landing, Heli hike, Ice hike so we tried checking into the hotel which was around 11am. They were cleaning up the rooms so the reception told us we were only able to check in earliest at 1pm which was fair enough. Rooms were clean and they provide a plug in heater which is very very important when you are at Fox Glacier and when it is raining. Even the toilet had its own heater. It's a motel not an apartment but we had a toaster and microwave in the motel which was good for us to make simple meals. The view out the backyard was nice. You are able to see Fox Glacier but still cannot beat the view when you fly up over Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, and over the glacier and thick white powdered virgin snow. Fox Glacier was awesome and glad that we had Sunset Motel to accommodate us for the night.

Great location”
The Sunset Motel was in a great location with a great view of Mt Cook. I can't remember the name of the man who was on reception but he was so helpful! He helps us with recommendations on where to eat, what was nearby, where to go for walks, and the easier way of getting to sites we wanted to see. Thanks buddy! :) Just outside of the centre of Fox Glacier, the motel provided a nice little getaway and, while still being very close to the centre of town, made us feel like we were away from everything. The facilities including heating, shower and bedding were all great and comfortable. Great value for money and would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a simple, comfortable accommodation in Fox Glacier.

The best stay we had at South Island NZ”
This place is above expectation. It has a great view of the mountains, glorious sunset view! and the room we booked (Double room with extra bed) is a just like a 5 star hotel room standard. Attached bathroom, small kitchenette with all cooking tools provided. It is a great relieve after staying at a few hostels with shared bath and shared kitchen because everything is just within our room (no walking a distance in the cold to cook/ use the bathroom). We were also lucky as during the night we managed to capture some awesome photos of the stars/milky way from the back of our room. Also the location is just opposite of Lake Matheson, a must do at Fox Glacier for the amazing mirror lake view!

Good place to stay!”
We stayed at Sunset Motel for the night at Fox Glacier. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. They gave up-to-date advice on whether it is safe to trek the unguided route to see the terminal face of fox glacier. Despite the rainy weather, we caught sight of a huge rainbow while resting inside the motel in the evening!

You would not be disappointed with this hotel”
This motel was very, very clean. They had a little efficiency kitchen that had everything you need. We had a view of Mt Cook from our little patio. The clerk/owner was very informative about the area. He made recommendation of places to eat, where's the best view for Fox glacier. Just a knowledge guy. They also had a laundry facility which is great when you've been on the road for a few days. Overall, I would stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Nice location, comfy room”
The location is near the town center, but it's among the furthest compared to other motels. Nonetheless, location is still very good as it's only a couple mins drive to the town center. Parking was excellent as we could park near our hotel room, although not directly outside our room. Price was ok, given that Fox Glacier is a very touristy area, and prices are slightly higher than other towns. Room was large and spacious, and has a good very view from the backyard. Bed and showers were excellent, and the free wifi was stable and quick. Checking in was very easy and fast, although we checked in a bit late, and the manager was able to speak in our natural language, which was an added bonus.

Location”
Great motel. Quiet, away from main part of Fox Glacier but within walking distance of town and a short drive to Lake Matheson. Lovely comfortable room with a good view of Mt Tasman and Mt Cook from the back of the apartment. The owner was very friendly with plenty of advise. We were lucky with the weather and the night sky was amazing.
