The Church at Fox

Lovely renovation of the church. Very comfortable and stylish. All the facilities we needed. Big kitchen and fridge for our cooking needs.Parking out the front .Easy walk to shops in Fox Glacier town and to Minnehaha walk.

Had a washing machine but no dryer, which would have been useful but we managed without.

Lovely renovation!

Noisy fridge in middle of the night.

Fabulous wee place

Sehr gut ausgestattet, es fehlt an nichts. Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft, sehr liebevoll hergerichtet.

Great location. Cool place

It was gorgeous and quirky. The church conversion was stunning.

Nothing

It was a beautifully appointed property. Spotlessly clean throughout.

Everything was great

The architectural detail is stunning, the bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is nicely stocked and in great condition, plenty of hot water and good water pressure, peaceful view out the back.

It’s a bit close to the neighboring properties with the way windows line up, but there are shades for privacy.

Sehr gute gehobene Ausstattung und geschmackvolle Einrichtung.

Einfach göttlich, ehemalige alte Kirche liebevoll in Wohnung umgebaut. Gute Aufteilung von Küche, Bad, Wohn- und Schlafbereich. Erhalt von Kirchen Inventar. Hochwertige Ausstattung, umfangreiche Küchenausstattung, hochwertige Nespresso Kaffeemaschine mit Milchschäumer.

nichts dramatisches… es war etwas kalt trotz der Heizlüfter und Klimaanlage (die Bettdecke hat aber sehr warm gehalten)

Amazing studio in a beautiful town!

Perfect location, spotlessly clean, super comfy bed, great shower

Perfect location. The building itself was stunning (we loved the rafters!) and the re-imagining of the church was thoughtful and clever as it retained some of the original features. Kitchen was well stocked. Bed very comfortable. Beautifully decorated. We could not find any faults at all.

Everything was great!

裝修比較有特色，但是暖氣不足以令到整間ROOM溫暖，感覺寒冷。WiFi連接不到互聯網！

The church at Fox was beautifully renovated into accommodation and was exactly as the online info portrayed. It had a well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed and lounge. Thank you to the owners.

Loved the Church conversion. It is beautifully done and perfectly located. The bottle of wine was a nice touch and a really good drop. Corkscrew was a little hard to find in the concealed draw. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Lack of dryer and iron.

Wow! What a gorgeous and unique property. It is also stylishly decorated. The shower was luxurious..

It is close to the road and while the traffic’s dies down significantly after dark, it starts up very early.

Lovely job in renovating this old church. Great kitchen and appliances. The bed needs attention, you felt a bit like you were sleeping in a ditch with our bodies sinking in. Overall great though. Thank you.

The place is just beautiful! Very clean and well equipped. We loved it!

The property had every amenity, was quirky but very comfortable with top of the range fixtures and fittings

Nothing

All the conveniences you need. Bottle of wine a nice touch.

The induction cooktop was a little fussy and kept turning off.

A unique beautiful house in a lovely setting. Walkable to places to eat and ideally placed for the Fox Glacier. Very comfortable and well equipped.

What a fabulous, unique place! So charming and well-appointed. Perfect for a couple. We loved it!

fantastic accommodation we loved it

nothing it was perfect

beautiful building well presented and excellent facilities, private and great location.

after booking asked to sign a pdf agreement to damage reimbursement, nothing of this mentioned on the booking.com site. No problem in principle but usually when signing such an agreement, such as car hire you agree any existing damage before signing. We had to sign before getting to the property so then had to take pictures of existing damage. I believe there should be another way to achieve this outcome as it you don't sign you can't stay.

We loved everything. The uniqueness of the property, the modern finishings, meticulous kitchen, comfy bed and the plush towels!

Location is superb and the place itself is unique.

Very little contact with host.

Nice all over, relaxing ambience. Loved the bottle of wine, thank you!!!

Nothing really.

Very cute and charming place to stay, definitely a fun idea.

On a whole a great well thought out stay, but a few little things could improve the stay for others. A really nice idea of having a complimentary bottle of wine all set up on the table, unfortunately it appears they forgot to leave one for us as it was no where to be found, easy mistake but a little disappointing. Heating was something else we struggled with, having the heat pump on full throughout the night we still found the place chilly, perhaps having the heating set on before guests arrive would have been a nice touch.

I love the stay!!!

Amazing conversion with every comfort and amenity you need.

Very nice renovation and extremely comfortable. Fast response from owner on my query

It is a little expensive compared with other accomodation on the West Coast.

Everthing was perfect!

Loved the quirky nature of the property, well designed and extremely comfortable. Hosts provided all equipment needed to cook in the very modern kitchen. Lovely touch leaving, bottle of wine for arrival.

A sweet little church all to ourselves, beautifully converted and modernised in a good location for Fox and local restaurants.

WiFi didn't work!

unique accommodation, kitchen facilities, walk to cafes, easy to find, quiet

the bed seemed to sag, my back was sore! (personal preference perhaps)

Beautifully appointed, convenient location, very comfortable. And an overall cool place to stay - the renovation was done very well and all comforts considered.

Nothing

The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and have everything ready and all the information about the house and the village available. You have everything you need to cook, wash your clothes, relax, and be aware of what to do in the area.

You have to bring down the curtains one by one to have some privacy and there are quite a few of them, if you can consider this a negative thing...

Overall we enjoyed our stay but the church never did get up to temperature. We had it set for 22 and it never did reach that temperature. It warmer months this place would be wonderful. Beautifully restored old church.

Beautiful property. Aesthetically pleasing

Heating wasn’t good enough. Fan heater in bathroom not working.

Great stay at the Church at FOX. Spacious, clean with good amenities and location.

Unusual building and accommodation that works very well !

Nothing

Nice kitchen, I guess some may have difficulty with European style or appliances, but we have similar, so no problems. I read some reviewers found the bathroom door was sticking or they didn't like the bathroom blinds. I'm reporting the bathroom door slides easily, and even if someone put their nose up to the window they couldn't possibly see anything. The property is as nice as the interior photos show. Remodel was very tastefully done. Thank you for the bottle of wine.

We had problems with the front door, but let's admit it was user error. It's on the highway. We slept well except for the dog next door that was going through separation anxiety. Certainly not the fault of our proprietor.

Superb location within walking distance of restaurants and flight centers. Property was extremely charming and very well equipped. From the outside you are not aware of the quality of the furniture, decoration and wonderful warm atmosphere.

Absolutely nothing

Was a one of a kind accommodation, absolutely stunning. Would have gotten 11/10 apart from a few little things. The mattress is old and a little uncomfortable. There are blinds all around that have gaps on either side if you like feeling private while having a shower or getting changed you might feel a bit weird about that and the last even less important thing is the tv isn't a smart tv so if you want to watch movies you'll need to bring a USB or DVD/Blu-ray with you. Apart from those small details it was incredible and my partner and I will definitely be staying again sometime.

The location of the accommodation in the village and the quality of the renovation and facility.

location close to town and clothes washing facilities. Courtesy bottle of wine was very thoughtful

lack of external bins for garbage

really lovely accommodation. beautiful renovation to a very high standard and extremely comfortable.

nothing.

The property was advertised with air conditioning but only had a heat pump and fan. This is FALSE advertising. We arrived on a day of 28C and it was like a furnace inside. The toilet door was jammed open giving no privacy! Oh and by the way, the fridge is a European model not certified for NZ electrical safety requirements - hope it doesn't catch on fire as your insurance can be invalid for this. Also don't impose stupid terms and conditions (like no more than 4 people allowed on the property at any time) after accepting my money and don't put in the house book that I will get a complementary local NZ wine when you actually supply a crappy Spanish substitute. Could have been great but spoilt by your arrogance and false advertising.

High ceiling, high end facilities, complementary red wine, lots of options of tv entertainment. TV unit can also be swivelled 360 degrees to be watched from all areas. Little interesting thoughtful touches example, lots of hangers, extra Heater provided, Nespresso coffee, little plush bear at the half floor attic etc.

Roller Blinds are manual and most of them did not cover well for better privacy . Most concerning area for us is that the toilet clear windows couldn’t be covered completely by the blinds. We wish that the windows in the toilet should be at least frosted as the toilet is near the neighbours’ car-parking area. .The closing and opening of the pocket door of the toilet entrance is also not smooth.

Beautifully restored stone and wood building, blending modern with old. thoughtfully designed.

The only thing it might need is a hook or two for towels in the bathroom.

What an incredible place to stay. AJ and Roz saved a little old church and turned it into a one-of-a-kind place to stay. There is so much natural light. The bed and furniture are so comfy and you have a view of the mountain through the massive back window. Lots of thought and care have gone into providing little touches that make this a wonderful place to stay.

location, spacious

A stylish and unique accommodation unlike anything else in the area.

Very cold even with the heat pump on as it’s one large room which doesn’t retain the heat. Path leading to the door is very smooth and slippy in the morning due to ice, might not be suitable for people with mobility issues like myself.

很特別的教堂住宿經驗，廚具也一應具全

Fantastic building with all mod cons and comfort. Complimentary bottle of good qualty pinot noir upon arrival. Great views. Fully equipped kitchen and great bathroom. Comfortable lounge area and very comfy bed. If I were being picky, it would be great if the roller blinds were electrically operated throughout and there was a clothes dryer to go with the washing machine. Spiral stairs to the mezzanine would help, and I think a new front door is probably overdue. Great stay though - a place I would highly recommend.

Close to the center, convenient location and comfortable. There was a kitchen and a washing machine and it was very helpful. The wine presented by AJ was very delicious. Mr. Matt took us to a tourist spot and was very helpful. I want to go to stay again. I didn't know how to garbage separation. I'm sorry, I didn't know how to contact the hotel.

Beautiful old church cleverly converted into luxury and cosy accommodation. A delicious Pinot Noir was waiting on our arrival which was most welcome. Easy parking straight outside the front door.

Beautiful little place with everything we needed.

Comfortable, clean and good designed house! Close enough to restaurants and grocery.

Beautiful unique property located in Fox Glacier. The Church at Fox had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Fox Glacier.

Adorable studio that provided a unique experience that we will always remember fondly.

Absolutely loved this place. It was perfect in every way.

Absolutely gorgeous. Private and very well appointed.

The Church is a very unique place. It was actually a small church building before being converted to a large one room rental with a kitchen. Upgrades are very modern including the kitchen. The Church is very close to the center of Fox Glacier, allowing you to walk to restaurants. Overall, we enjoyed staying at the Church and found it a very comfortable place to stay.

This was an absolutely fantastic little place with so much character and class. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone visiting this area of NZ!
