This is a hotel that has a lot of potential. The rooms themselves were clean and tidy providing a basic level of service. The building itself is in need of renovation. For a cheap basic no frills option I would recommend this Hotel. The efforts of the current owners to rebuild the business and renovate the hotel to its former glory deserve support.

likely a good deal for being close to Milford sound.

It’s an old motel but thankfully our room for 3 on the ground floor was not musty (even though the hallway was), so i think the rooms may have recently been “refreshed”

A nice feature for 3 adults sharing - there was a half wall between two of the three beds that provided a tiny bit of privacy.

It had a kitchenette for our am coffee. Easy parking

Parking can be a little bit tough if you don’t get into the facility at the correct time location is OK. It’s a little bit away from the lake and a little bit away from downtown.

Rooms were outdated, outside seating area and old golf area was closed and appeared to be torn up. The lights kept flickering on and off, and the hot water went from lukewarm to scalding during showers. Some of the hallways and rooms smelled lightly of cigarettes. The pictures of the property on the site are outdated or false. There is no direct view of the river, and the pictures look like they may have been from 30 or more years ago. On a positive note, the bed was comfortable and clean.

The moment I walked into the reception area I knew I had booked the wrong place to stay. The smell of damp mould in the reception area was overpowering. Outside the gardens were full of weeds, rusted guttering leaked water stains down the walls and there were growing plants and weeds in blocked gutters. Rotten timbers in the structure were visible and the whole exterior was very run down. The halls to the rooms were as bad, a very tired carpet and mould smell. The only thing that stopped me giving a terrible rating was the room was clean smelling and adequate for its purpose. It was very dated, the shower temperature was very difficult to control (one second hot, next too cold) and the hot water temperature was set at a dangerously high level that risked scaling guests. There was visible black mould creeping through gaps in the bathroom lining and paint blistering from moisture and mould. I bring bird watching clients from all over the world to stay in the South Island and I will never book this facility again.

Property is very dated, dripping taps, hot water fluctuate so much that it burns you mid shower, with two kids this was quite dangerous. Laundry facilities were painful at best, one washing machine out of order, the other did not spin clothes. Dryers did not work properly, management had not put signs on the dryers but seemed to be already aware of this problem when we enquires about the issue. Management did refund our money but had to air dry all clothes. Unfortunately this property is in need of serious maintenance and upkeep. It was not worth the money we paid.

Distance from the city centre is an issue and the nearest cafe is 500m away. Since there is no restaurant/breakfast in-house, this can be an inconvenience.

The room is tiny with a half size bar fridge sitting on pieces of timber, the bench above it has a jug, coffee/tea and cups. The bathroom has been renovated but water goes everywhere as it just has the half glass shower screen. The bedding is very comfortable. The whole complex is very run down, has the feel of dorms at a school camp. The girl at reception when we arrived wasn't interested in 'greeting' anyone. We arrived late afternoon and left early for Milford Sound so the hotel was suitable for a quick stopover but wouldn't book again.

The property looks tired , but that was ok. The shower is elevated to step in and dangerous , the shower water goes from scolding hot for. Few seconds then to freezing cold for a few seconds, then warm and starts all over again. I could have gotten over that but the mouse that shared the bathroom the next morning was a deal breaker for us. We left for a Milford Sound Cruise early in the AM so when we returned we packed up and went to check out a day early . Told the front desk the issue with the mouse , she asked what she could do to make it right so we asked for a refund for the night we weee not going to stay and she told us we should have noticed them sooner and offered us nothing . Even a bit of a credit would have been a good faith effort. So this is a horrible place to stay
