Our previous accommodation had been disappointing, so on arrival at The Last Resort (we had not booked) we asked to view a room before accepting it. We were given a two bedroomed chalets for not much more cost than a studio. The main bedroom was a little smaill but as there was only the two of us, we could put... More

the grounds are lovely and are a relatively quick/easy drive from the oparara and moria gate arches (i highly recommend the oparara arch walk). if your gas tank is not full, you can get gas at the nearby gas station before you head up the arches or back down the coast. TIP: be sure to leave plenty of time (at... More

We had intended on staying only one night during Easter 2013. However we stayed for two as there is plenty to do and see. We selecting a simple studio unit that was a request from my better half Violet and this room was okay for cleanliness and comfort but no mirror, not anywhere. The staff while not rude are in...

Very pleasant accommodation. We stayed in the budget rooms - but they were really like lovely wee hotel rooms - just without the bathroom. The shared bathroom facilities are very handy anyway. Extremely friendly and helpful staff (as you would expect on the west coast). Dinning was quite good - although did lack a bit of atmosphere to be honest.... More

Our studio was clean and tidy with plenty of room. Bathroom and shower was large but no mirror in bathroom. A very quiet place to stay. We had drinks in the bar after a meal elsewhere and the staff were friendly and obliging.

We had a studio which had a fridge, kettle and toaster but no hot plates but everything was very clean and in good condition. The bathroom was excellent and the room was a good size. We ate in the main building and had a very good meal. There was lots to do in the area and we would definitely stay... More

We were let down by our original private holiday booking accommodation so arrived at The Last Resort tired and cross. We were given one of their three two bedroomed chalets which we found to be very roomy with a small kitchen area but large bathroom, with a separate toilet and good sized patio area. What was nice is that you... More

After completing the Heaphy Track we were booked into the Karamea Village Hotel but to our shock and horror discovered they were having a very large family 21st party. They should have warned us but totally understood (no charge) when we moved on to The Last Resort. We found excellent, very clean units and the food was quite reasonable. The... More

After 90k of very straight road from Westport Last Resort was a welcome sight. Tha staff were very good and made us feel at home, they were also good at booking for the cave and arches walk. The rooms were clean and the bed comfortable.

Last Summer, we booked a week's accommodation with reception over the phone two months ahead of time, we gave them all the details they needed and were given a price for our booking (for 4 people). Two weeks before our arrival we got a frantic call from reception, asking how many people we were in the booking...? Then the morning... More
