Great place to explore the glaciers. All necessary cooking equipment is available. It’s very close to the town center with supermarkets. And you can visit great places from here. A tip is the nearby short Minnehaha walk. Here you can see glowworms during night.

Everything about Montrose was wonderful. The big plus is the hot tub and also the warm bed. It was so cozy. Tucked right at the end of the road, it is extremely quiet and you could just walk out, sit on the rocks and stargaze!! The Terrace Walk is barely 250 meters away. Can find some glow worms there if you look properly. Four Square supermarket is also just about 200 meters away if you wanna buy food and cook in the kitchen. Otherwise, at the other end of the road, Monsoon serves really good food at affordable price. The cauliflower steak is so delicious!! Love Montrose, love Franz Josef and will definitely be back here if I do come back.

Had such a lovely time here! The room is comfortable and the facilities are simply amazing. You get so many free things such as breakfast, soup, tea, hot chocolate, popcorn and even the jacuzzi is free of charge, simply because they want you to have the best time. The host is super friendly and makes sure you feel at home. I would 100% recommend this stay!

For a hostel with free breakfast, there were 3 cereals, toast and waffles/pancakes. Easy place to chat to others and soup was great too. Staff were good with advice and help too

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Clean room and shared bathroom. Great location, next to a grocery store, several bar-restaurants, gas station and all the activity officies of Fox Glacier. Polite staff ready to help and give suggestions. Easy parking. Very cheap for the prices of the area.

    Such a lovely hostel! I had a female-only room and the room was lovely, beds were comfortable, the showers and bathrooms were clean and decently modern. The kitchen was very well equipped, free spices/seasoning. The hostel has a small 'gym' room with mats and a few weights, a sauna, and a hot tub. WiFi was very good! Fantastic location, right in the centre. The hostel also has free bikes for hire! I cycled to Lake Matheson (highly recommended!) And bunnies you can feed 🐇
