Quirky old style overnighter
The guy at teception was friendly. The place definitely takes you back in time. Humble basic set up needing some love The shower block was quirky but awesome shower temperature and strength. The bunk beds in our cabin wrre firm and squeaky. The cabin had a bar fridge which was great. Right next to the lake.

The place was great. Very spacious and comfortable. Only the wifi connection was bad. If the management could work on it everything would be perfect.

Although we checked in late but we were still able to manage to get the key and find our cabin. Shared bathroom was clean. I suggest that at least provide coffee cups in the cabin. The place was nice and quiet and Lake Ruataniwha was stunning! And it was easy to find good restaurants in the town.

This was a lovely little place to stay before going to Mt. Cook. We met a large group of friends who travel there every year from Dunedin and Christchurch. Tons of fun and very respectful of noise.

Great Motel
I stayed in the motel room with a spa. The room was large and comfortable. There was a nice view to the lake. The kitchenette and bathroom were modern.
