There was heavy rain when I was there and the metal roof made it even louder but not too bad. Fridge wouldn't seal well but a piece of tape fixed that. Minor nitpicks - can't imagine a better place to stay up in a mountain pass.

8.5/10 Owner was super helpful. Amazing location to do hikes in the area. Very nice room, spacious. Nice bathroom and kitchen area. Microwave is analog but works lol! Incredible view out the front door.

Travelers should be aware that the cafe/ store shuts around 4.30pm so it's essential that they buy provisions on the way. The accommodation is on the road with the railway behind. Slightly noisy but this eased over night.

The accommodation provides a welcome break on the road between Franz Josef and Christchurch. The very friendly owner/manager Tash, was there to greet us on our arrival. There are very few services in Arthur's Pass, so we were able to make use of the kitchen facilities in our room.

Nice and quiet property, with a shared kitchen to cook in (not many restaurant choices in Arthur’s Pass). The room was impeccably clean and comfortable.

Nothing really

Never used a communal kitchen before but found it to be an interesting experience. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our food.

Tash was very helpful, she even waited for me at the bus stop! The motel felt quite new and the room had everything it needed. Clean and tidy kitchen and bathroom, nice tea and hot chocolate 😁 it's in the middle of the village and easy to find.

It was a shame there was no stove in the kitchen area and as a result we had to use the communal kitchen next door.

Large sitting room and separate bedroom. Very nice ensure bathroom. Very comfy sofas and plenty of space.

Internet / wifi was average. Also, the microwave was positioned on a high shelf, which I thought was unsafe when loading and unloading hot dishes.

Very clean and neat room, quite spacious, and with all facilities, including a kitchenette . The rooms seemed quite new. The host Tasha was very courteous and efficient. Good value for money.

The walls are quite thin so not really soundproof.

It has a nice vibe. Generally very clean and spacious. Tash was lovely to deal with.

The front door gate was not operating properly. I had to use the side entrance.

Tasha, the onsite manager is the best.

No issues

Fantastic location. Very close to the train station. Cafe straight opposite for breakfast. Clothes washing and drying facilities. I booked the apartment so the lounge area came in very useful when it rained

Nothing

Really well laid out, everything neat and clean and comfortable. Enough room for me to unpack my case and put it all safely where I could reach it. All promised facilities were provided and worked as intended.

Nothing - everything was good

Property is located right beside the train station, it is spotlessly clean and beds are comfortable. Facilities for cooking are very good. It is best to bring ingredients from a bigger town as shop in Arthur’s Pass has a very limited selection.

Although summer, we needed the supplied convection heater on for a while on arrival and again first thing in the morning. Quite sufficient but assume extra heating would be needed during the Aurthur's Pass winter (no heat pump in unit). Only one 'comfy chair' in unit, so relaxing/watching TV means using the bed as a 'second' chair. The unit is adjacent to the main road which concerned us initially but fortunately very little traffic overnight, so traffic noise wasn't really an issue for us.

Easy to find, and due to a late arrival arising from road closure the manager guided us to our unit by phone. The studio unit is small-ish but well equipped and perfectly adequate for a single night's stay. Good parking adjacent to the unit.

Great location in the village, good soundproofing from road noise, and the big shared kitchen was functional as well as a nice social space. Tash was friendly and helpful with my last minute request.
