The Westhaven Motel

I didnt like the "kitchenette". Very, very difficult to cook in - small (little tiny counter). You should count on sandwiches, eating out or ordering in.

Good location, large comfortable room with a microwave and electric pan.

Conveniently located, clean, front door parking, food options nearby.

We had to park a long way from our room, which was inconvenient when we loaded up to leave in the rain and the facilities are bare minimum, so can not recommend if there are other options available.

Facility is old.

It was close to dining options and the room was roomy and the spa bath was lovely.

A convenient motel with all the facilities we needed for self-catering in the centre of Fox Glacier and an easy drive to all the major tourist attractions. We were only there one night but would have been happy to use as a base for a longer stay.

Very helpful staff . Easy parking

Very ancient

Basic accommodation

Very quiet, clean, comfortable Motel handy to everything

Basic, clean room. Very good value.

Bad wifi and the residential properties around the motel had their dogs barking all night. Room was not cleaned as thoroughly as it should've been. Good location for sleeping after hiking though.

Helpful staff, room decent size and clean. Basic amenities sufficient for an overnight stay.

Floors filthy. Bathroom was not clean. Shower curtain had not been cleaned or replaced in a very long time. Towels were stained with dirt. I would not recommend this motel.

Reasonable, clean property with helpful staff. Great location to get to the Glaciers.

Plumbing issues. Signs stated that before drinking water needed to be boiled as there is virus and bacteria in the town water. Water smelt strange and effected the drinking and showering as well as pathetic water pressure. After speaking to a few of the locals and businesses it was confirmed it was only the motels plumbing rather than the whole town. No fresh drinking water was provided. Had trouble locking the sliding front door. Reception un manned most of the time. Towels provided were ripped and torn, Didnt feel overly clean, furniture needed updating as the couch was old and collapsed. Overall very underwhelming. Would not stay there again.

Clean, comfortable and convenient

Property was great and our room was spotless and very comfortable. Staff was super friendly and gave us great info on the area. Would book here again.

The Westhaven Motel was clean and comfortable. Easy walk to restaurants.

Everything is good except wifi is weak - literally no wifi.

Sehe nettes Personal. Das Zimmer Nr. 3 war geräumig und gartenseitig. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Gerne wieder.

Very nice large room. Especially enjoyed to garden sitting area.

The room was very loud. Paper-thin walls to adjacent rooms. Water was untreated when we were there so had to boil before using. Very inconvenient. I don’t think that was the property’s fault but they didn’t notify us at all in advance, so it was an unexpected surprise. Fox glacier is a very small town—only one grocery store that closes at 6pm daily.

It was close to dining options and the room was roomy and the spa bath was lovely.

The bed was extremely comfortable

Size of room was nice.

Having a microwave AND an electric skillet was a strong plus. Beds were comfortable and room dated but clean. The only negative was the shower which was wheelchair accessible. Because of the bathroom floor slope, certain positions of the detachable shower head could lead to water heading toward the door and not the drain. Given the warped wood at the bottom of the bathroom door, this problem occurs regularly. Check-in was fast and clerk courteous.

Lovely size room .. extra touch having a fan as being so used to air con on the other hotels/motel was good having a fan. Lovely location too .

We accidentally got locked out of our camper and by 10 pm realized we were not getting back in until the morning. We booked online, walked to the hotel, they sent someone to get us checked in so we were able to sleep somewhere warm.

We asked for better pillows as the pillows were flat as pancakes and there wasn’t a selection in the room, it seemed to be a hassle to the staff at the front desk when asked for better pillows, the room was clean and comfortable and well equipped

Upon arrival we were told that there is no power and they had no idea when it would be restored, also got 2x600 mm bottles of water as the town water had to boiled before drinking. Later that day we asked for an update, they had no idea, what was going on. We were later told by others this happens regularly and last happened the previous Friday and most businesses in the town are prepared and have generators and backup plans. We asked our hotel manager for alternative light sources, and drew a blank look, asking again we specified candles, which after scrounging around two decorative candles were produced, requiring Matches to light the candles resulted in more searching till they were located. During the night the storm continued and in the morning, we enquired about the road going forward, to receive the same “I don’t know response “ we checked out to find the two roads out of two were closed due to landslides or trees down. At no time during our stay, did the manager attempt to update us (our any other guests that we spoke to) on the situation. He sat in his car, closed reception early (with a note for another client giving them a room number) and basically proceeded to ignore the situation

Conveniently located and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
