My stay at Lake Matheson Motel in Fox Glacier was fantastic, and I can’t recommend it enough. The room was incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful design and cozy touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The bed was especially comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, and everything was spotlessly clean and well-maintained.||||The staff were welcoming, friendly, and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. They were not only helpful with local tips but also genuinely personable, making me feel truly cared for.||||The location was perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to Fox Glacier and the beautiful Lake Matheson area. For the quality of service and accommodation provided, this motel was incredible value for money.||||If you’re visiting Fox Glacier, Lake Matheson Motel is a must-stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and an ideal location.

Great location and well kept motel in a quaint township close to a host of cafes and restaurants, and other amenities to suit travelers on route to Fox Glacier, hikes and Lake Matheson. Great for the 1 night stop we made on route to Wanaka and Queenstown from Christchurch with our UK mates.

I have accommodation for 4 adults. Very easy checking in and out. We have 2 rooms, a separate lounge with kitchen. Good sized rooms and the beds are comfortable. Motel is clean and good space for 4. The location is good as it is near to restaurant and town center.

Summary 4/5: clean, quiet and spacious room. Value for money. Room 4/5: Although a bit dated, but the room has everything we needed, including the kitchenettes (e.g. microwave and fridge). More importantly it's clean, comfortable and very quiet. I love that the sheltered parking is right in front of the room. No air-conditioning but there's a fan. Location 5/5: close to both the town center and Lake Matheson, yet away from all the noise! Restaurant available next door. Service 4/5: friendly and helpful, nothing to complain. It has self service laundry available (chargeable).

Checked into the Lake Matheson Motel at Fox Glacier on 24/01/2025. The check-in was a unique, first time experience. There is absolutely no staff in the hotel! No desk clerk, no waiter, no room service boy, no room cleaners. They all come at 2 pm & leave at 6 pm. There was a notice hanging outside the reception office informing me, "Mundhada, your room is ready & open, keys are inside, tomorrow morning's breakfast is placed on the dining 🍽 table, WiFi password is 3enjoyurstay". There is no restaurant in the hotel though there are some nearby. Not even security, only electronic surveillance is there. Lake Matheson is a calm, peaceful, desolate motel. Rooms are good with a heater & a well equipped kitchenette. Toilets 🚻 and toiletteries were good. The toilet too had a heater & the towels were always maintained warm by electric heating. Breakfast was delicious. Christi was extremely polite and helpful.

I was feeling rather unwell so I was just grateful for a bed for the night. Interesting layout of this motel with quite a handy covered area to park under. The quality of some of the fittings wasnt great. The toilet seat was extremely cheap and basicly broken. I slid off the loo a few times with the toilet seat swinging sideways. I left a note to let them know about it. We paid $205 for one night - a bit more than it was worth.

The price here was higher than elsewhere in Fox, and anywhere else we had stayed in New Zealand. We assumed perhaps the motel had some major upgrades since we last stayed many years ago and were looking forward to staying again. ||On first entering the room, it was quite nice, clean, the bed was very comfortable, lovely hot shower, stainless steel kitchen equipment (crockery a bit dated), and great undercover parking. But I am not a fan of plastic kettles for boiling water - stainless steel is better. I've noticed most places are now phasing them out.||On first entering the room, it was quite cold.|The door and windows were the standard style and not double-glazed. Hence, the room was not well-insulated, and took some time for the heater to warm the room and it cooled down quickly. But there were electric blankets as well as the big heater in the room, and the bathroom had its own fan heater, but it just never felt cosy. ||The only place to hang clothes was in a cupboard that was difficult to open (carpet laid too high for the door) , but it had a fan and another heater inside.||The motel is off the main highway, and we had no immediate neighbours, so it was quiet. ||Being more priced than other accommodation in Fox we expected more, so we were further disappointed to find only two black tea bags for our 2 day stay - a small issue but really!. Coffee drinkers got 7 sachets and one plunger sachet. Who really wants to annoy the owner or manager to come and replenish our tea bags. I can make do with not having my bed made and rubbish removed and clean towels, but something as simple as extra tea bags for tea drinkers If it's a quiet time (as it appeared) and issues of staffing, then I can understand - simply note guests' arrival and length of stay and provide more tea bags.|| ||

Absolutely spotless and clean with new, modern furnishings. Easy check-in and only one block away from the main road w/numerous eateries. Loved our stay...best of all the places we stayed during our 3-week stay in NZ.

Amazing accommodations!! After a long bus ride we were met with a warm welcome by Heather and Mike. Our room was very clean with all the necessities. We enjoyed our evening meal with a view of Mt. Cook, just outside our room. As a surprise bonus, Mike was kind enough to drive us to an overlook to see Fox Glacier. Staff were friendly, happy and so accommodating. I definitely recommend and will stay at no other place on our next trip.
