Had a great stay at Bella Vista, Fox Glacier. I have stayed at other Bella Vista Motels and this is by far the best run. Owners were very friendly and helpful, motel was clean and well layed out. Top marks! H Russell More

We spent 3 nights here (7 - 10 May) and couldn't fault the motel. I had done a fair bit of research before deciding on Bella Vista based on (for us) the best combination of price, location, amenities and Tripadvisor feedback. We were travelling by bus so being just across the road from the bus stop was great (though Intercity... More

We enjoyed staying at the Bella Vista Motel in Fox Glacier very much. The room was great and the hosts were very friendly and helpfull with tipps on activities, places to see and places to eat. The location is perfect, right on Highway 6 and close to the general store and a nice restaurant, but there is hardly any traffic... More

This was one of 5 Bella Vista Motels that we stayed at during a recent trip through New Zealand. Like the others, this motel was convenient to shops, restaurants, and activities. Rooms were new, clean, and comfortable. The compact studios were indeed compact (but Wellington and Wanaka upgraded us to larger rooms). Staff was always friendly and helpful. Overall, a... More

We stayed at Bella Vista Motel in Fox Glacier for 3-nights in April during a tour of New Zealand. We had booked a family room on the internet a number of months in advance of our visit. On arrival we were allocated room 24 on the first floor on a separate block and were given a carton of fresh milk... More

It is located in town on highway 6 but there was virtually no traffic after sunset. It was quiet. There were no insect screens and it was a warm night. A few mozzies joined us in the room before sunrise. Our room was a 'compact studio', and it certainly was compact. The comfortable double bed took up most of the... More

When we first checked in to the hotel, the person at the front desk asked us if we wanted free internet. Of course, I said yes. She handed me a card and told me I had a certain amount of megabytes I could use. I asked her how I knew how much I had used. She told me she had... More

DONT EVER STAY HERE! Unless u wish to be called insulting names by the owners when making a complaint about the room. I had stayed in numerous Bella Vistas whilst travelling around the South Island. I was swore at by the owners for complaining about the noise from the road and from other guests. We had phoned the owners in... More

Nice room and facilities, seems like an excessive amount of house rules as to what u can and can't do. Also walls must be made of paper, could hear people using the shower etc a particular annoyance when trying to sleep early. More
