Great little cabin, absolutely stunning surroundings and views from the deck. Short walk to main street and bars.

OK stay. facility was good and so is location (well, it is a small town...). But somewhat noisy, parking was tight and WiFi was spotty. Kitchen utensils can take an upgrade. But staff was lovely. Like anywhere in NZ :-)

Excellent facilities close to town center.

Pros: Clean facilities. Comfortable beds. Excellent management and friendly cleaning staff.
Cons: Everything was to our satisfaction.
Location: Walking distance to town center and delightful Alice Mary restaurant next door.
We requested another room with Sky TV and management were only to happy to oblige. Our room was excellent, tidy and clean. Plenty of room with a sofa and comfortable beds. Management were extremely hospitable and happy to make reservations for tiers and suggest fine restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay.

Hi Terry, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and found our rooms nice and clean.

2 out of 5
Pros: It was easy to find. The bed was comfortable, other than the cups it was clean and quite new.
Cons: The rooms were VERY small, and the sound proofing between the two rooms could be improved. Also the heaters could be changed to quieter ones
Location: It was on the outside of the town which was fine as long as you had a car. The cinema was lovely, there appeared to be plenty of places to eat.
The room was very small, and the most expensive of the four we used on this trip including Franz Josef , there was no room to lay out our case. The cups were stained, and the heater made a very loud noise the people next door had their heater on during the night, it must have been on a thermostat as it keep turing on and off, which kept us awake as we could hear it very clearly.

Hi Chris, I believe this review is not actually for our property as you were staying in a Cottage which doesn't have an adjacent room. Also out heaters are electric heaters that don't make any noise, we are located in the centre of town and we are based in Franz Josef.
