We were lucky to arrive as the hotel was nearly shutting for the night, the duty manager was very welcoming. Rooms were very spacious with entrances to the courtyard as well.

The facility is clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. It is noted that this facility is very remote and “out in the middle of nowhere.” We used it as a base to get to Mt. Cook (~90 minute drive) which worked well for us. Finally the bar/restaurant was very convenient with good food. Recommend the facility for a quiet getaway
Douglas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thought we would have a view of the lake but we just looked out at parked cars. Carpet on floor was a little dirty. Quiet place and comfortable which check off my important boxes

공간은 넓은 편인데 그에 비해 욕실은 굉장히 작습니다. 바로 옆에 골프장이 있어서 풍경이 좋아요. 숙소가 프라이빗하진 않아요~ 저희는 음식을 조리해먹어서 이용은 안했지만 옆에 있는 레스토랑(체크인 하는 곳)이 장사가 잘되고 평이 좋더라구요. 정보를 알아보지 않고 가서 아쉬웠습니다. 주변에 아무것도 없긴하지만 북부로 올라가기 전에 잠시 머물기에는 괜찮습니다

Worked really well for us.

Nice large apartment with two rooms and a pretty well setup kitchen. The bar/restaurant attached to it was very nice - especially the steak served on a hot stone!

Caution

I rarely leave any negative comment, but this stay was extremely terrible. The room was full of flying insects, as seen in photo. Kids were scared to sleep or to use the bathroom during the night, and had difficulties continue their journey. Understand it is close to lake area, but there should be control measurement in place to provide accommodation service. After communication with the provider via Hotels.com all I received was a cold email saying no refund to be provided.
