The Bella Vista is a modern two story motel located in the centre of town (very small) and on the main highway. Very convenient. Rooms are somewhat small and there is no elevator to get to the second floor ... a real pain if you have heavy luggage. Clean and Convenient. Considering the limited choices in the area I would certainly recommend it.More
We spent two beautiful nights at Bella Vista Fox Glacier. The staff were wonderful, especially the managers who were so accommodating of my young daughter. They put on in house movies for her and also provided her with paper for drawing. The room was warm and all heating worked very well, which is important for us Queenslanders whilst visiting NZ in June. Highly recommended and will hopefully visit again. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Erin. It was a pleasure to host you all and your daughter was charming whenever she came to reception. We try to ensure that our guests have a great experience when visiting Fox Glacier and I know that the Scenic Flight up the Glacier was a highlight for you.
Enjoy the rest of your time in New Zealand.
My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon. Sue was a delightful woman who efficiently checked us in. She helped us plan some local activities and provided clear information on these.
The rooms basic although very clean, warm and comfortable. It felt like home. The views around the motel are picturesque.
Thanks for taking the time to write a review gem780. It's lovely to hear you found our motel so comfortable and hopefully we helped make your honeymoon even more enjoyable.
modern facilities. free unlimited wifi got slow later in the evening possibly due to more people being on line. off street parking, car park is small due to its shape and design, but plenty of room on street. close to eating places and activities
Thanks for taking the time to post a review coaster2. Hopefully you had a good trip home. Unfortunately the wifi can get a bit slow in the evenings - the whole of Fox Glacier is affected by this, even though we have a very fast connection at the Bella Vista.
Walked in without a reservation after a tiring walk at the Fox Glacier, and got a very reasonable rate on a triple room. This is definitely a motel-grade accommodation with modest interior and style, but the room was surprisingly comfortable and had all the amenities we needed, including a reliable wifi with 4GB (or 5GB?) limit. We were both under the weather that day but had very nice sleep. The host was great at briefing us about the area. We took her advice and took a walk at Lake Matheson next morning. Highly recommend both the motel and the walk.
I'm so glad we could offer you a comfortable place to stay after your tiring day keywonc, and that you enjoyed your time at Lake Matheson. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
Room was comfortable and clean. Manager was helpful and friendly and recommended some great places for dinner and breakfast and also gave us a great list of recommended stops and things to see on our drive back to queenstown. Very reasonable price as well. Highly recommend this accommodation.
Thanks for your review Cassie B. We love being able to help you get the best of your visit to the West Coast, hope the rest of your trip was great too!
