Experience serenity at this Fox Glacier holiday park near spectacular glow worm forests and Lake Gault. Enjoy complimentary WiFi and parking while exploring nearby hiking trails, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing routes from this peaceful outdoor haven.

"We had a standard cabin which was fine for one night and was close to the restaurants in town. Washroom facilities were spotless and there are lots of walks to do in the area. Our only complaint was that there was a very loud group in the cabin next to us, drinking until early hours. Due to the close proximity of the cabins it’s a bit of a lottery with your neighbours. "
