    We stayed in a very newly and tastefully decorated studio that was exceptionally, clean, spacious and very comfortable. It had its own sitting area outside, located across from the lake and a short walk into town. Great location to use as a base for exploring Fiordland.

    The beds are too soft. The Internet was horrible=very slow.

    The host was great, the room was big with 3 beds. Only 10 minutes walking to all the stores and restaurants. The lake is just across the street.

    The mattress in the bedroom I had is badly in need of replacing. Also, I turned on one of the heated mattress covers to high and soon noticed an unpleasant odour. The smell went away after I turned it down/off.

    It was obvious a lot of work has gone into making/keeping the rooms clean. My room was almost spotless with little visible wear - not an easy task with older furniture and decor that I’m sure has had a lot of use. The host was very helpful - he knows how everything runs in the area and can answer all your questions. He took the time to explain where everything in my room was and how it all worked.

    A little further from town and restaurants than I would have preferred since we like to walk, but easy access in a car.

    Large room with more of a kitchen than kitchenette. Comfortable and quiet, and close to the path to an amazing bird sanctuary.

    The motel was a short distance from town centre and easily accessible to everything. It had everything we needed for a one night stay. The manager Robin was most informative and had everything at his finger tips.

    It was absolutely spotless, a lot of thought went into, these apartments, even down to a night sensor light, that came on in the bathroom at night, the light switch, in the bedroom, had a glow around it, so you could see it in the dark.
