We only stayed for one night as our heli-hike was cancelled due to bad weather. Hotel was very clean and rooms well appointed. Bed was very comfy, had the best night sleep during our trip in new Zealand. Would stay here again. More

Checked in after a long drive from Milford Sound. Because of our seasonal timing, the restaurant service was unavailabe and a meal was had in nearby Fox village. A very pleasant cooked breakfast was had... More

Everything is new and sparkling in this hotel/motel. Big firm mattress, free wifi, good lighting, huge bathroom. The owners offer breakfast and dinner in their pleasant dining room (for a price). Dinner was very good. They also have laundry facilities. More

We did a lot of research prior to visiting NZ, including places to stay. We selected High Peaks Hotel and were not disappointed. Extremely clean room and very quiet. Mariane and her husband typify the wonderful Kiwi hospitality and they run a first class place, especially at this price point. The poor reviews were obviously from people that will never... More

Travelled the south-island and this was the cleanest and quietest room we had. The dinner Marlene cooked was out of this world. What a Chef. Alan was great company at the Bar. More

It is fairly well located a short walk (10 mins) from the village centre. There is a restaurant and bar on site but on this occasion we... More

This is a nice little hotel near Fox glacier and Lake Matheson. However it feels much more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. The owners are extremely friendly. The rooms are very clean and appear to have been recently updated. The owners also cook a nice breakfast and dinner (although we were only there long enough to catch... More
