Our unit had uninterrupted mountain views and the comfy bed was a massive plus after a long day of exploring!
There is a restaurant next door and is down the road from Lake Matheson, a glacier viewpoint and glow worm walking trail. Also if you’re into beaches, Gillespies Beach was very interesting & unexpected (~10km from the glacier viewpoint via a well maintained, but narrow gravel road).
We popped into Franz Josef on the way in and were SO happy we chose to stay in Fox Glacier - it’s truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Andy is super welcoming and will point you in the right direction. Stella (his doggo) is a treat too 😁 thanks heaps Andy, we will be back!
