Great place to explore the glaciers. All necessary cooking equipment is available. It’s very close to the town center with supermarkets. And you can visit great places from here. A tip is the nearby short Minnehaha walk. Here you can see glowworms during night.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Clean room and shared bathroom. Great location, next to a grocery store, several bar-restaurants, gas station and all the activity officies of Fox Glacier. Polite staff ready to help and give suggestions. Easy parking. Very cheap for the prices of the area.

    Such a lovely hostel! I had a female-only room and the room was lovely, beds were comfortable, the showers and bathrooms were clean and decently modern. The kitchen was very well equipped, free spices/seasoning. The hostel has a small 'gym' room with mats and a few weights, a sauna, and a hot tub. WiFi was very good! Fantastic location, right in the centre. The hostel also has free bikes for hire! I cycled to Lake Matheson (highly recommended!) And bunnies you can feed 🐇
