New Zealand West Coast Fox Glacier Weheka

Nature
Active

This tiny mountain village offers the best access to New Zealand's beautiful Fox Glacier, as well as several eateries.

Fox Glacier township/Weheka, 6 km away from the glacier, functions mainly as a service centre for tourists, though it also services the local farming community, which had been its main focus until the 1990s (though tourism started as early as the late 1920s). The approximate township site had been gazetted as early as 1866. Bruce Bay is 46 km to the south-west of the township, and Franz Josef is 23 km north-east. State Highway 6 runs through the town.

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our trip to Europe, our only complaint is that it wasn't long enough. I feel that we just scratched the surface and there is so much more we want to see and do. We definitely will be planning another trip in the near future. RoutePerfect is an amazing tool, it took a lot stress off of my shoulders. RoutePerfect staff was awesome, I had to make a couple of changes and it was done promptly. I stayed in some really descent hotels at a reasonable price. I love the fact that I didn't have to work too hard looking for good hotels RoutePerfect made it so easy to choose where I wanted to stay within my price range and interests. It was our first trip to Europe and we didn't know what to expect. I am so thankful i came across RoutePerfect. I tell my friends and family about it. I recommend it to everyone who asks me about my trip.

Our trip to Europe was fantastic. My husband and I wanted to plan a 2 week vacation. This was our first trip to Europe, so I had no idea how to go about planning it, let alone booking overseas hotels without wondering what kind of place I was going to end up in. I found your site on Google and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed! It was quite easy to use. The four rooms we booked for Paris, Milan, Venice and Florence were clean, well maintained and in good locations as promised.The fifth was a B&B in Rome, also in a great location and within easy walking distance of several of the sites we wanted to see. Your site really made the booking process so easy! Being able to see photos of the properties, pinpoint their locations and read reviews from other travelers gave me a sense of security that I was booking a legitimate and well tended hotel. When I emailed your site with questions, they were answered promptly by a live human. I would definitely use the site again and recommend it to anyone looking to get started on planning their own trip.
