We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the large cabin which was very clean and had all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was good and hot which is needed after all the wonderful walks around the area. The views are stunning with the colours changing as the sun rises and... More

We stayed for one night on our way back to Christchurch and loved it. Our cabin was clean, spacious and comfortable but the best thing is the view. It sits on the edge of the Waimak River above the tussock and looks up the valley. We loved the fresh air and the isolation of the place. Breakfast is now complementary... More

Really great pub. It reminded me a bit of Fawlty Towers without Basil and Manuel. Meals were reasonable, cabins were a little old but really large and spacious. I think it would be a great place to stay if lots of other travellers were there, we arrived in the off season. More

The best part of the place is the amazing views and the friendly staff in the pub! The dinner in the pub was lovely and we played a few games of pool. The Pub took you back to the 60's in a good way with the surroundings but the room took you back to the 60's in a bad way.... More

My wife, daughter and I stayed here to break up the trip from Christchurch to the west coast. It was just the one night (although next time we will be staying for 2). The views are amazing the air incredibly refreshing and the meals delishous. The hospitality and enthusiasm from all staff was fantastic. We were made to feel welcome... More

Although the scenery is very good I wouldn't recommend staying in the suites at the hotel until they are updated or if you get a good deal on the price. They are in need of refreshing, peach toilets, old lino, and having no blinds on the front glass door that you have to go by to use the toilet. The... More

Stayed here for one night, arrived just before 9pm and they had closed kitchen however manager was very helpful and sorted out some tucker for us. After being show how to get our room we felt like we had gone back to the sixties, the tv had only 2 channels and the reception was bad on those. The 2nd prob... More

This is a really old motel - the paint color, the bathroom, the carpet, the closet, the bed sheets, the heater, the stuff at the kitchen. I think I would've been ok with it being old if it was cleaner than how it was. You can see some dead insects, insect droppings and cobwebs on the window sills and corners.... More

This was our first visit to the South Island and this was our last stop before heading back home. The room which we were told had just been cleaned was not clean, the windows were dirty, the tea towel had not been changed or the tea/coffee topped up. It was definitely not worth $160 per night. While travelling around the... More
