The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It is located close to the bus stop which is convenient for us when we came from Dunedin. Shopping mall is nearby so very nice. Decorations are stylish. The staff was very friendly and helpful - she allowed us to leave the luggage there for a few hours after checking out in the morning so that we could walk around freely. Very appreciated!

This is a gem. Such an amazing history and he staff go out of their way to show off the property including the amazing chapel on site which is literally like being transported to Italy or France. And don’t start me on the beautiful chocolates made on site and provided in the rooms on arrival

Where to begin! We absolutely loved everything about the high tree chalets, the hosts have very clearly thought about every little aspect and detail and tailored this to be not just a stay but an experience. My partner and I visited for our honeymoon and were wanting to relax, unwind, slow down, and spend intentional time together and the high tree chalets were exactly what we were needing. We were able to slow down and really take in the beauty of everything! We loved the attention to detail, the location and the hosts Sonya, Mark and Casey truely went above and beyond!

It's a charming city with Victorian style building.

It's a charming city with Victorian style building. The Bushy beach is beautiful with fur seals lying on the beach. Visitors are not allowed staying on the beach from 3pm to 9am. During the breeding season (January and February)of the Yellow Eyed penguin, the beach is closed.

A discovery really, as it was the most convenient place for a break in our journey but what a wonderful central location it turned out to be to see many surrounding wonders. Each season would have its own reasons for spending time here, which is exactly what I now intend to do.

I liked exploring the river and would have fished if we had stayed. Food at the local pub was good, we didn't try the steaks. There are lots of families who go to Kurow camping for the water activities in the lakes. There is a newish wetland to explore, and others like to cycle the area. The penguins are 90 kilometers away there are a fossil attraction down the road.

It's a very special place to have crayfish and fresh fish at the Fish Wife. It's the only reason we travel and stay at Moeraki. Absolutely loving it. The Moeraki Tavern is also another fantastic place to eat. I highly recommend both.

I loved everything about Waianakarua.

I loved everything about Waianakarua. The scenery, energy, the big spacious outdoor space was beyond me. The room I stayed in was dry, warm & safe. The owners were lovely and accomodating checking up daily on us. It’s a great stay of a spot for individual travel, couple travelling & also for families. The main kitchen & lounge area was gorgeous & comfortable & I will be back definitely.

Last visited 7 years ago. Felt that the Victorian precinct had deteriorated. Weather was very wet so didnt visit the penguins. Steam punk closed at 4pm. We arrived at 3pm so too short a time to visit. Shops very friendly staff.

I didn’t see much of Otematata as I arrived late afternoon, had a meal and then retired to my room. The next day we drove on to Geraldine early morning. The countryside is interesting, the views superb, I love the McKenzie country and I’ll return for longer next time. I ate at the Best little pub and had a very good meal

Kurow is pleasant as a destination, but you need to drive to see various sites such as elephant rocks and the clay cliffs. There were a number of eateries at Kurow and a small well stocked supermarket.
