“Heartland Hotel Fox Glacier strikes me as a practical base for exploring this wild corner of New Zealand. I noticed the updated rooms offer comfort after a day on the glacier, and the White Pub's local fare sounds like just the thing. If you're travelling solo, it may not be the best option, but for tour groups and those looking to immerse themselves in the region's rugged beauty, it seems a solid choice.”
