Misty Peaks Guesthouse  

Perched in Fox Glacier, Misty Peaks is a small 4-star bed & breakfast with sweeping views toward Mt Cook and the Tasman. You’re a short drive from Lake Matheson, Fox Glacier Glow Worm Forest and other West Coast highlights, so it’s a strong base for glacier and lake excursions.

This cozy B&B has just five guestrooms, each with a private balcony to take in mountain vistas. Expect a homey, artful vibe and friendly hosts—owners serve a complimentary evening glass of wine with a New Zealand cheese board each night. A garden and terrace add quiet spots to relax after a day of exploring.

On-site perks include a restaurant and bar/lounge, a library, terrace and garden views, plus free self-parking. The reception offers tour and ticket assistance for local excursions, and practical services like laundry, luggage storage and 24-hour front desk are available. Wake up to glacier-facing balconies and easy access to walking routes.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and desks in rooms make it practical for light work or trip planning.

Breakfast is served in the dining room with continental and cooked options to start the day. The on-site restaurant serves guests, and the nightly wine-and-cheese welcome adds a local touch with New Zealand cheeses.
