The property is a outdoorsy lodge style with log walls and a nice fireplace always running in the main lodge. The rooms were relatively large, each with a patio and balcony and a private sliding glass door. I stayed in the main lodge, which was nice, but there are also cabins. The staff was attentive, breakfast was good ( a full English breakfast with all the trimmings), as well as fruit, juices, yogurt and pastries. The hotel is about 2 km from the main village. I'd stay there again, I was there for 2 nights.

Beautiful Setting, Near Town
Lovely setting, enjoyed the fireplace at the end of the day. Audrey, who checked us in & provided our breakfast, was very helpful & friendly. Situated nicely on the edge of town.

One night stopover, nice room just a bit soleless
Stayed at the Lodge for one night as doing a heli hike next morning . The room was large, comfortable with a good sized bathroom and the best bit - a rolled top bath. There was a good selection of toiletries. We saw a lady on arrival who give us access to our room but saw no other staff about until we left the next morning. The TV was not working on arrival, found the aerial was not connected, after connecting there still were not any channels ??? The lodge did have some DVD’s on site so watched one of those instead The hotel is a short drive from the town and it’s attractions, unfortunately the breakfast didn’t start until 7am and we had to leave early. There was no one on site to get it early for us, so we had to make breakfast in our room - there was some crockery but only 1 bowl and spoon . We are travelling all over New Zealand and found the lodge to be the most expensive stay with the least service unfortunately which was a shame as a nice place.

Location was convenient. Nice communal sitting area with fire and snooker table and selection of dvds you could borrow. We had a large suite, it was quiet if a little dated with drafty windows and it needed a new mattress as was very soft and roll together! Breakfast was included with modest buffet selection of food plus choice of cooked egg.

Great lodge. Poor breakfast
This is not a traditional NZ B&B. This is run by an Asian family who were charming - when you saw them. Great room, bath and location. The breakfast was poor. Most of it out of a packet. Cheap yoghurt, pre sliced bread. Only thing freshly cooked were eggs, that just appeared on a white plate on their own so widely unappealing in terms of presentation. . Help yourself to anything else you want. Reminded you of a US Holiday Inn budget or UK Travelodge. Cereal all had sulphates. If this is your first stop, it does not reflect NZ B&Bs. We had been offered delicious homemade sourdough, organic cereal, freshly made breakfast to order before this. Tables were not layed and you were expected to clear your own plate as if in a MacDonald’s. Let themselves down over breakfast as the location is amazing.

Wonderful stay!
A marvelous hotel! Comfortable, even luxurious, and close to town without being caught up in the hustle and bustle of New Year’s Eve. Lounge area is very nice and breakfast was good. Only issue at all was that the WiFi connection was at best inconsistent, but for us that was a very small matter! A great stay!

Upon check in we were greeted by Alex. He was super helpful with what walks to take, what restaurants etc. Very cute, cozy place with super view! Only issue is with the strong musty smell and the shower was odd. Two glass walls and no door so floor got very wet and slippery. Need grab bars in shower. The tub was awesome for a warm soak after long days hiking in the rain! Breakfast was very nice. Cleaning staff hung up our dirty towels, but Alex gave us clean ones after asking. Nice towel warmer also.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Wake up on clear morning to a brilliant view of the Franz Joseph glacier while you enjoy breakfast. The sign out front of the lodge says premium B&B and I agree that the services were tip top but the price was not.
