We stayed in the Victoria suite, which was lovingly and thoughtfully restored from a former bank building. The wallpaper and furnishings and decor were quite impressive, as was the clawfoot bathtub in one of the bathrooms. Parking was available in the driveway right next to the suite. There was air conditioning that could be adjusted, and plenty of towels. A sink with provision to make coffee in the morning – would’ve been nice to have some glasses rather than just cups, but overall the place was lovely. There was a loveseat and several chairs in the living room, and the beds were made up beautifully and were very comfortable.
There are glowworm caves at the back of the property, but we were slightly discouraged from going to see them by the gal who checked us in, so you might want to ask a few more questions. There is a glowworm wall just before you arrive in town on the left-hand side of the road, which is signed.
You can have dinner or breakfast there – we chose to go into town which is about a 15 to 20 minute drive. It’s about 45 minutes plus to Hokitaka Gorge.
Lovely place – I highly recommend it!

The decor was carefully restored to an early 1900 era. The staff was friendly. We were not aware that our room would be across the road but the key issue was that our suite (Seddon) had a musty smell more pronounced in the main area . We were not able to use that room and kept the bedroom door closed.

Back to Kumara

A one night stay on a roadie down the West Coast heading for the snow. We have stayed here before and frankly, wouldn't consider anywhere else. This time we had a miner's cottage (free upgrade!), it was warm and quirky which we love. Ate in the bar, a real kiwi pub experience and friendly locals. The area is very interesting

This property is very unique and one used by at least some of the bicycle tours. There are sheds for charging e-bikes, cottages, rooms in the old Bank of New Zealand and the hotel. We stayed in a cottage which was excellent for our needs, being able to have breakfast, cook when we wanted or go to the Hotel restaurant which had very good food. We were within easy commuting distance to various sites and hiking trails, that were excellent.

Don't miss this gem!

We loved our stay at this hotel! We stayed in the Queen Victoria Suite in the bank building, and it was fantastic. Our kids LOVED how fancy it was. It's beautifully restored, and much airier and brighter than it appears in photos. Tons of space for our family of five. We had dinner in the restaurant, and while the service was incredibly slow (I think they forgot about us after they put our meals down, because we didn't see another server for 45 minutes or more) the food was very good, and luckily there's a yard for the kids to run around a bit. The playground on the property was very much in need of repair/upgrade, but I assume that'll be done eventually. Breakfast was basic but definintely met our needs. The person who checked us in also let us know there were glow worm caves on the property, which was a huge highlight for us! Aside from dinner, the service and care at this property was fantastic. Kumara is off the beaten path somewhat, but it's worth it to stay at this gem of a hotel. I only wish we could have stayed another night! My kids will be talking about this place for years to come.

Charming and quaint

This charming historic hotel on the main 6 highway was an enjoyable stay for one night.
One had to eat there as there were no other restaurants nearby, but the dinner was excellent and the restaurant/bar area pleasant. The continental breakfast was adequate.
However as they had kept the 1876 hotel in keeping with the age of the property the furniture in the room was old and bulky and hence used up a great deal of available space in the room.
There was a TV but it was very small.

We had 2 different rooms. Both were very clean and spacious. It was a bit strange that 1 was at a different location just down the road a shor bit. Less than a 1/2 mile but was not adequately marked or lighted for arriving in the darkness. The second location was a complete house or cottage and was very spacious and cute. Once we were in we were excited to stay in a quaint location but seemed strange at first. I would recommend either location for a stay with a group.

Beautiful historical themed rooms and restaurant

We stayed in Victoria Suite. This is more than just a hotel to stay in - it is a unique experience from the restored historic themed rooms adorned with antiques, to the stunning bar and dinning room. We felt immersed in the Victorian era in late 1800s. It is like a living museum which provided us “back-to-history” experience. We enjoyed delicious food in the restaurant. Staff all knowledgeable and friendly. Totally recommend a stay here.

Better choice in this area

The interior design of the entire hotel has a nostalgic feel. The bathroom is very spacious and clean. The only drawback is that there is not much space to put things in the room, and the sound insulation from the outside of the hotel is not very good.

Great 2 night stay

Interesting 2 day stay. Kumara has so much history to explore. Nice to have a communal sitting room as well as bedroom. Had a pleasant bar meal.

Fantastic hotel in a really interesting historical village. Some lovely walks near bye, easy loop walks through old gold mining tailings. Restaurant was unbelievable, best pizza 🍕 we have ever had. Dietary requirements provided for well and staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall a 10 out of 10. Well done!!!

I liked the old time character of the hotel and my room was beautifully furnished with antique furniture true to the era. However the bed was modern and comfortable!

A little piece of paradise

A wonderful little cottage that was much larger on the inside than it looked on the outside.Although we were given wifi passwords the wifi did not work which was mentioned in the info when we booked. That did not bother us as the place was lovely and I would highly recommend it.

This is a terrific old hotel which has been updated and refreshed. The food was very good as a bonus.

Just have to note that there is not much in Kumara so stop early for any supplies.

Our suite was lovely; beautifully restored, spacious, quiet, and clean. The pub food was not up to the standard we had anticipated. We were cycling on the West Coast Wilderness trail, and the menu choices did not align with a healthy, nutritious lifestyle.
