Great location. Fun place to stay. Bring a nightlight for the top of the stairs for those trips to…read morethe bathroom (downstairs) at night. Host was friendly and even gave me an extra towel for my hair. :) We went on the Glo Worm Hike. It was cool to see them, but was difficult to hear the guide if you were more than 6-8 people behind her. Missed out on fun facts about them and the area. But, worth it just to see them. Squat down and look up! Minor note: why is the outlet closest to the bathroom too far away (outside the bathroom) for the provided hair dryer?

Absolutely spotless and clean with new, modern furnishings. Easy check-in and only one block away…read morefrom the main road w/numerous eateries. Loved our stay...best of all the places we stayed during our 3-week stay in NZ.

Amazing accommodations!! After a long bus ride we were met with a warm welcome by Heather and Mike…read more Our room was very clean with all the necessities. We enjoyed our evening meal with a view of Mt. Cook, just outside our room. As a surprise bonus, Mike was kind enough to drive us to an overlook to see Fox Glacier. Staff were friendly, happy and so accommodating. I definitely recommend and will stay at no other place on our next trip.

Travel to New Zealand. It's half hostel and half motel with…read morea nice restaurant serving breakfast, lunch & dinner. Don't expect much when you book here. It's a room with a bed, chair and en suite. There's a hot water maker with tea and coffee supplies but we found a dead moth and half filled smelly caraffe. The cups were also dirty. Be careful. There's enough for you to survive but I can't say I was comfortable since we killed 3 moths, 2 big flying insects that looked like mosquitoes & found a dead roach on my pillow. You do have use of the kitchen facilities in the hostel side which is great but it got really crowded and dirty with all the people staying here using it. Location is great since it's in the heart of the small town. We walked to and from, everywhere but it took us only 2 minutes to the farthest town destination. It was a bargain but I would have spent more on nicer accommodations. If you're there just to sleep overnite, this place is great for the price.

The staff at this hotel (especially Abbey) are amazing. We got stranded in the area because our…read more electric rental car ran out of batteries. Abbey made sure that we were taken care of, got us a room last minute, and helped us get our car to a charging station. The dedication and kindness we experienced here is second to none!! She saved our trip, and made sure that we had a safe place to spend the night! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!

Simple, yet flavorsome, food. We started with an entrée…read moreof green lipped mussels in a delicious garlic butter sauce. For mains, we had bangers and mash, with 3 chubby venison sausages and the lamb shank, that just fell off the bone. And make sure you try a Monteith's black beer, deliciously smooth. A good value meal that's not overpriced.

(NZ has SO many redeeming qualities that make it perfect for backpackers but access to reliable wifi while traveling is not one of them!) and even though the owners knew I was only one person and left me only one key, and they only asked asked me to pay for one person in the morning, they covertly then charged my credit card for the second booking, even though they knew it was a mistake and did not provide accommodation or services for the second booking - no second bed was reserved and no key was left for that second bed - and they refused to refund me. they took advantage of the accidental second booking to make easy money, and worst, they were completely unapologetic and told me it was my mistake and I had to pay for it - even though no services were provided. if they had given me two beds I could maybe understand. luckily my credit card company agreed this was fraud and deleted the charge. be careful with these owners and their business practices. I would recommend somewhere else.
