5/5 - Excellent
Fox glacier is tiny (2 blocks) but although touristy it is less so than the bigger Franz Josef glacier town 30 km away. I found out that the Minnehaha walk is s great place to see glow worms after dark, right at the edge of town.






A complete self contained little cabin including stove top, pots, pans, dishes and cutlery. Clean. There is a very nice restaurant in walking distance, Betsey Jane, the best in Fox Glacier, recommended. However it needs attention, the carpet under the dining table is badly torn.

Lovely job in renovating this old church. Great kitchen and appliances. The bed needs attention, you felt a bit like you were sleeping in a ditch with our bodies sinking in. Overall great though. Thank you.

We tried the alex knob hike but it was too foggy to see anything that day. Went to the kiwi cennter and loved every minute.
Our trip to Queenstown was changed as the pass was closed. So we had to make an twelve hour trip instead of four.
Nice little town about one block long. Prob 5 restaurants.
Best sky diving in the world (Fox Skydive), especially for the price. A must do for all those willing to experience the exhilarating jump and spectacular views. You won't be disappointed. Don't waste your money jumping anywhere else in the country.
great location for hiking and viewing the mountains.
