If you want a tour in new Zealand and the west coast of the south island visited, you had to sleep somewhere. In Fox, there is not much (totally overpriced), if you don't want to sleep in a backpacker. The Fox glacier mountain view is a decent compromise. The friendliness of the hostess is at the second glance, clear will happen. The room was very large, the bathroom was okay, although rather small. The breakfast was cooked (= English) and sweet (= pancakes), which was very tasty. The coffee was used badly. Among the guests a nice conversation, and experience. There the whole time (a day) was raining, we have seen nothing from the glacier and the mood was rather dull.
