Misty Peaks was lovely and photos really don't do it justice. Allanah and her aunt and father made our experience much more personal and during breakfast one morning we were enlightened as to the joys of an overnight trip on Doubtful Sound by some Aucklanders on holiday. Allanah worked her lovely tail off cleaning and cooking and still made time to recommend eating establishments in the area as well as the best helicopter adventure firms. Oh, and also the best place to get a view of Mt. Cook (which was quite close-by). We had many lovely stays during our monthlong New Zealand adventure and Misty Peaks was one of our favorites. Highly recommended.

A great place to stay for two nights on our way up north from Queenstown to the Abel Tasman National Park and visit the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers. It was a good decision to stay at Fox Glacier where it was close to the viewpoint of Fox Glacier and mount Hood from Lake Matheson. An easy drive (30 min) yo Franz Josef Glacier and a very good valley walk to the view of the Glacier. The room was modern with very comfortable bed and a warm bathroom. Both were greatly appreciated after a long drive. The warm bathroom floor was an added bonus. Arrived late and Alanah was gracious and accommodating, and left the front door and our room door open for us. The breakfast was superb. Great suggestions for places to visit and hikes to do from Alanah. Thank you for being a superb host. Highly recommended.

A convivial atmosphere, lounge area and dining. Design faults in rooms let this property down. Noisy unenclosed bar fridge made sleeping difficult. Paper thin internal walls meant you could hear neighbour's conversations. The USB points was a good addition but not placing them bedside made them less useful. A lovely helpful host. OK

Thankyou for your Review. We are sorry you had very noisey guests near you. The USB points have been placed by the writing desk to discourage people leaving their phone on charge all night which can cause fires. Appreciate your comments Thankyou

Great place to stay! Alanna was a wonderful host. She made sure we had everything we needed and prepared a nice breakfast for us. She also took the time to orient us to the area and gave us tips on hiking and restaurants in the area. Our room was large, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The common area were also very nice.

B&B was cozy and clean and the hostess personable. The room was fine and the living room was very nice, especially if you have to wait it out with the weather (there is not much to do in Fox Glacier if the weather gods are not with you). Some helicopters will take off and land nearby if weather is good.

Amazing stay!
We loved our stay at Misty Peaks. Dianne and Anna are amazing hosts. The rooms are spacious and clean. We even got a room with a view of Mt. Cook! They offer continental and/or cooked breakfast which is a huge bonus. The location is ideal. It is a very short drive or short walk to town. Our favorite accommodation in New Zealand!

Great Days in Fox Glacier NZ.
Misty Peak a great B&B to stay, room was lovely, Sytze and Janny very friendly owners, cheese and glass of wine early evening a nice touch, chance to talk to other guests and Sytze and Janny. Both owners know the area well and gave good advice about things to do and go locally. Went on the helicopter ride, tho we hadn't planned to do it, and its not cheap, it is a must, as can't get the full idea of the glacier unless at the top, under Mt Cook and Mt Tasmin!! Spent 3 nights here after 4 days of camper van, great place to relax and become normal again!!

Stan, Utah

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Showed up at about 3 pm and owner was there and seemed nice. While the living room area shared by all guests seemed fairly large and nice, the room itself was a little bare and dated and smelled a little mildewy. Perhaps that is because it has been raining for a week straight! The hotel policy is no cancellation within 30 days of booking and we did not know that until it was too late. There is no restaurant at this venue (contrary to what the listing on expedia says) but the owner did recommend a nearby cafe where we already had lunch. Fox Glacier is a small town and there isn't much to do if its raining. The property is clean but not upscale and frankly it seems overpriced. You'd be better off looking for something in Franz Josef or keep driving north to Hokitea. Or if you have to stay nearby, just show up and see if a room is available at this or any number of nearby motels or B&Bs. There were plenty of empty rooms when we showed up and so it was a mistake to book in advance. Due to the slight mildewy smell and incessant rain, we decided not to stay there at all and so ended up paying for two nights we didn't use!
