Karen made us feel very welcome and her local expert knowledge was invaluable. Our room w as spacious and spotless. Breakfasts set us up for the day and the location of this B & B is stunning. More

The best that can be said for the furnishings is basic. The helicopter parked in the garage starts up early and oh those diesel fumes to wake up to. The hot water ran out in the middle of my husband's shower -- and it didn't change slowly. The breakfast is ok but there is no fresh fruit -- only canned... More

This B&B is located in between the centre of the town and Lake Matheson, whith a great view on the mountains. We found our room spacious, clean and it had a good strong shower. It had a fridge and there was a kettle with coffee/ tea available. Host Karen welcomed us with a cup of tea and gave us all... More

Karen made us very welcome and immediately put her excellent local knowledge into play to help us get an earlier heli hike on Fox Glacier ( which was brilliant). The little cottage was very comfortable and made an excellent base for a few days. Lake Matheson is nearby and an early visit pays dividends to get the reflection, the Cafe... More

We spent two nights in Mountainview mid December. Karen is a wonderful host - really knowledgeable about New Zealand and full of good advice about things to do in the local area. Our little cottage was sweet - very clean and quiet and the views from the whole property are almost overwhelming. Breakfast kept us going all day! I would... More

We don't typically stay at B&Bs but were in a pinch when traveling through the Fox Glacier area. Karen was really lovely and gave us some great recommendations for things to do with our children and restaurants that would be kid-friendly. Rooms are clean and comfortable, breakfast was great! More

Spent 1 night and it was fine. Rated it 'average' only in comparison with other B&Bs we stayed at which had more character and charm and free wifi (here it cost $5). Snow-capped mountain views from the house are fabulous, even when partly obscured by cloud. Large garden with its own "mirror pond", nice helicopter in the backyard! Room was... More

We have just spent 1 night here and are a bit surprised by some of the negative comments... The property is a little out of town ( 4 mins drive) and so you do need a car - but all the B&B's we have stayed in have been and a lot way further out than this...our room was spotless and... More

The place is a find given Fox is lesser populated compared to Franz Joseph. We were looking for a reasonable priced place to stay with breakfast and this fit the bill (NZ$370 for 2 nights). A very gracious host who knows NZ well considering that she has driven a bus for a while in the country. She makes a really... More
