The lady at reception was very welcoming. I had a lovely spa bath, which was such a treat. It took me quite a long time to figure out how to get water in the bath, so some instructions would have helped a lot. All in all, it was a wonderful stay.. thank you

Hot water seemed to be on a timer as both of our showers were cut short due to hot water just disappearing. Nice comfortable bed. Rooms could do with updating a little.

Convenient lodge in Fox Glaciers
Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful who provided great suggestions to good restaurants and good places to see Glaciers. The lodge is next to Minnehaha walk and very close to Fox glacier south side walkway. We enjoyed in visiting glaciers peak view point in the afternoon, Minnehaha walk in evening and Fox glacier south side walkway in the morning.

Nice staff, hard bed.
Check in was easy and the gal working (Karen) was super sweet and very helpful! The room was decent size, clean and had a kitchenette. The bed was hard and uncomfortable and so were the pillows. Because of the bed, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Really lovely welcome and good room. I think the only bits which made it a 4 instead of a 5 star is that there was no hob (microwave only) and no smart TV with apps eg Netflix or YouTube. Other than that it was really good with lovely staff and housekeepers. Thank you Graham
