Fantastic location, very helpful and friendly staff, and topped off by delicious food

Mark New Zealand

Loved being able to sit in lounge after dinner playing cards, in the morning after breakfast just "being", reading. before leaving. Loved our short walk in the snow... meals were excellent, loved view out our window in unit 5 - felt very spoilt :)

Penny New Zealand

Very comfortable accommodation with just superb dining restaurant and ambience.

Colin New Zealand

We loved this place! Everything was excellent, and the mountain came out from behind the clouds to play. Peter is a great guy and a great host, and we enjoyed everything we had in the restaurant. The surrounding forest walks are lush and beautiful, and it's so nice to come back to a warm comfy room with a spa bath. Lots of interesting native birds around too.

All the food was excellent, some more options at dinner would have been good. Loved the room and the bath after long walking days. Staff were knowledgable and friendly.

Exceptionally clean, great size room, comfortable bed. Spa bath, we did not use it but it's there. Actual rooms look much better than the photos in booking.
