WELCOME TO RAINFOREST MOTEL IN FOX GLACIER
The Rainforest Motel is a family-owned and operated motel situated in the small, picturesque village of Fox Glacier on the West Coast of the South Island. We are perfectly situated for you to enjoy a relaxing break while exploring the tranquillity of the Westland National Park and South West World Heritage Area.
We are within walking distance of a number of good-quality restaurants serving great food, wines and coffee, yet only a short drive will take you to the spectacular ice formations of the Fox Glacier, the tranquil beauty of Lake Matheson and the Peak Viewpoint, or the wild, rugged coastline at Gillespies Beach.
Rainforest Motel is a quiet Fox Glacier accommodation option for travellers who want ground-floor motel units, kitchen facilities, parking and easy access to village dining, glacier activities, Lake Matheson and West Coast scenery.
