Overall had everything we required for our night stay. Clean and tidy. A nice view of the lake from our balcony. However the exterior veranda light coming through the frosted glass door was very annnoying and it couldn’t be switched off plus it didn’t help that the heater in our room worked really too well. We couldn’t regulate or turn it off so we tried to let outside air flow into the room which was hard the night we stayed because it was raining and the rain would blow into the room. Thankfully there was a ceiling fan which helped a bit but our disturbed nights sleep was very hot and uncomfortable. Couldn’t advise anyone in the morning as office was unattended when we checked out.

Location location location. Parked up the car and walked. Walked to the lake, walked to the church, walked to the supermarket, the shops, the restaurants. And the sunrise over the mountains and lake, beautiful.

The motel is a bit dated. The room was so hot even with the heater on the lowest setting. We had to get up in the night and keep opening the door to let so heat out. The location is good - right across from the dark sky project and beach. The playground has a fun zip line for adults and kids. The huge complaint is the price of food. Some examples, $25 NZD for eggs and bacon, $32 NZD for a bowl a ramen?! There is a four square so I suggest picking up what you can there. If I went back, I would only get a room with a kitchenette to cook meals.

This was a spot for a night stop over. We arrived at 1805 and the sign said the office closes at 1800. They left a key but no lights on the way to our room. We had to use a flashlight to unlock the room while carrying our bags. The room had a bad smell which may have been a new carpet but something like BO. Never interacted with staff. The free breakfast was worth the price. The village was not that nice. We moved on right after breakfast.
