We had a pleasant and comfortable stay. We were stuck in the fox glacier due to rain and road closures. The person at the reception knew that we had a flight to catch the next day. She rushed to our room once the roads were open and guided us in the best possible way. Thank you would be an understatement :)

The Westhaven Motel is located in the heart of the South Island's West Coast Glacier Country, within the South West World Heritage area. All accommodation offers a kitchenette, underfloor heating and views of the garden. Guests enjoy free parking.

Room was huge and spacious. Bathroom was also big, and comes with a bathtub. Cleanliness was spot on, except maybe the shower curtain needed a change. Heating was nice and warm. Bed was comfy and firm.

    Fox Glacier is a very small township with a number of motels and the Rainforest was on par with the competition on appearance and location. There is nothing flash about this motel, but it served the purpose as it was clean and cosy.

    Nice accommodation for a short time while on the road from the Abel Tasman National Park to Queenstown. We enjoyed the very good breakfast and the chat with the owner of the place.

    This is a decent motel just on the edge of Fox Glacier Town about 6 kms from Lake Matheson on the road to the Glacier Viewpoint and as a result its location suited us fine. It's handy for the town but we were self catering. There's just enough in the kitchenette to do this successfully but there's only 2 of everything. The room was comfortable, the bathroom adequate - what you'd expect in a standard motel though there were some good quality toiletries to make a bit of a difference. Staff were helpful.

    Motel has quite nice localisation, but bit far from the village center and nearest grocery. Free parking. Nice view from window. Room was big, well equipped and clean.

    Being a genius customer our room was upgraded. Unfortunately our neighbour was smoking outside, so the manager upgraded us again! We were in a two bedroom unit with all the facilities we needed. Motel was on the road to Lake Matheson, which was very convenient for our sunrise trip there.
