Our room was spacious and spotless. The bathroom was large and the full kitchen well equipped. The room was filled with light from the large glass doors.
It was great to see toiletries provided with no little plastic bottles.
There is a laundry at the motel with washing machines and dryers.
The staff were friendly and helpful regarding places to visit and dining suggestions.
The room was pretty basic but had everything we needed
Not as clean as we normally expect and could do with some R & M
Unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable and the stunning unusually hot weather during our stay with no aircon in the room added to the discomfort.
However if you are on limited budget I’d recommend rainforest motel
The owners dog is a bit of a character and very friendly as is the owner himself
Flat on the kitchen floor which was quite sticky.
The bed was super nice to sleep in and the decor was extremely upmarket. We chose the larger room for space and were very much pleased we had.
The owner was exceptionally nice man with an English accent and a cat and dog that made us feel very welcome.
We loved loved Fox and dined at Lake Matheson Restaurant which was spectacular and well worth the meals we had there.
If you want a quiet town in mid winter with plenty of room to move and space to think this is it! I highly recommend.

(Apparently my review needs more characters…)
The owners were so kind and helpful, full of local advice.
The room was perfect, comfy beds, electric blankets, heaters, Sky TV, full kitchen, lovely big bathroom with the strongest shower I have had in a motel.
There was no noise at night whatsoever, and we slept so well.
Just down the road is Lake Matheson, and the view point for Fox Glacier as well.
Also just back up the road to the intersection is a restaurant called "Cook and Saddle" where we had a delicious meal.
Also this Motel has a pet friendly room, so our little Maltese could stay with us.
The owner has a friendly labrador that welcomes you to the motel.
So if you want a quiet and comfy motel in Fox Glacier, Rainforest Motel fits the bill completely.
