While The westhaven shares the "functional" characteristic of most NZ motels, it is a step or two above the "average". The reasonable price led me to expect it to be at the "basic" end of the scale, but it was closer to the other end. It is modern, spotlessly clean and very roomy. It can get a bit chilly in... More

Good clean room with new (ish) bathrooms. Can't fault the establishment. More

Extraordinary value! Very comfortable. Everything clean. Well appointed. Great location. Our family of 6 loved our stay and rate the Westhaven as one of our top 3 Hotel/Motel experiences on the South Island! We were able to get a 'special rate' as our visit was at a quiet time. Manager on duty was Kelvin, 10/10 for friendly, helpful services. Couldn't... More

We were winging this part of our trip round the South Island so when we arrived at Fox we just picked the first place we liked the look of.

We decided to stay in Fox Glacier instead of Franz Joseph because we read that it was less congested. It was a good choice for us. The Westhaven is conveniently located on the main road, close to a restaurant and a small grocery store. The young man at the desk was very friendly. We were able to park very close... More

My wife and I stayed here two nights as we used Fox Glacier as our base to visit Fox and Franz Joseph Glaciers. The rooms are very large, with queen size bed, sofa, a well equipped kitchenette (fridge, toaster, microwave, electric water kettle and cutlery), and a flat screen TV. The hotel is 100 meters from dining options and a... More
