10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location and very comfortable. No cooking facilities but thats not a problem as there are options for dining out in Punakaiki. We're hoping to have the doors open as the weather was great but the sandflies made life too difficult. Bring bug spray."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Fox River?
The best area to stay in Fox River is the village of Fox Glacier, located just a few kilometres from the glacier itself.

This small village is the main hub for visitors to the Fox Glacier area. It's compact and walkable, with all the essential services, including a general store, cafes, and restaurants, conveniently located along the main road, Cook Flat Road. You'll find a range of accommodation options here, from hotels to motels and holiday parks, many offering views of the surrounding mountains.

Couples often find Fox Glacier village ideal for its convenience and proximity to activities. From here, you can easily access the Fox Glacier Valley Walk, which takes you to a viewpoint overlooking the glacier, or book a helicopter tour for an aerial perspective. The village also has a few pleasant spots for an evening meal after a day of exploring.

For travellers seeking a more secluded and tranquil experience, there are a few lodges and holiday homes scattered along the scenic roads leading out of the village towards Lake Matheson.
When is the best time to go to Fox River?
The best time to visit Fox River is during the warmer, drier months, typically from October to April.

During this period, you'll experience more sunshine and less rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the natural attractions around Fox River. The longer daylight hours also mean you have more time to enjoy activities like glacier walks, hiking, and exploring the coast. While the West Coast weather can be unpredictable at any time of year, these months offer the most reliable conditions for outdoor adventures.

For those looking to maximise their outdoor activities, late spring (October-November) and early autumn (March-April) can be particularly good. The weather is generally pleasant, and you might encounter fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months of December to February.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Fox River.
How much is the nightly rate at a Fox River hotel?
Prices for hotels in Fox River often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $54 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
