Excellent stay
We stayed here for one night en route from Dunedin before doing Mount Cook the next day. We have been in NZ for over a month now and I must say that this stay ranks amongst the best motels we've stayed in. The room was v clean, comfy bed, well equipped, great shower.

Great overnight accommodation
The studio room had everything we required as a great place to stop off for an overnight stay. The centrally located motel gave us easy access to restaurants and car charging.

Great hotel! Friendly staff Wonderful stay
Adorable hotel, we had everything we needed. We could not find a hotel in Mt Cook Village OR Twizel, so we booked here. It was a nice way from Mt Cook but still doable. The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and warm

Nice amenities, quiet. We were impressed with the kitchen amenities. The bedroom was a bit bright overnight because the outside security light shone through the curtains, otherwise very nice.

Perfect stay
I was bit hesitant booking this hotel as it's 50 kms away from Lake Pukiki and Lake Tekapo/Mt. Cook were further away. However, it turned out to be great stay. The motel is maintained very well. All the amenities were good and very clean. The owners are very hardworking and make sure that the guests are comfortable.
Location of the motel is great too. Benmore is underrated and not in the list of must-see-places in NZ. A change of plan due to weather gave us an opportunity to visit and it turned out to be highlight of our trip. I wish we had more time at Sierra and Omarama.

Awesome place
High standard of equipment. Found the crockery shelves a bit high to reach, but that's more about me than anything else! Staff friendly and helpful. We have stayed there before, and would recommend it to anyone. It would have been nice to have a teapot among the kitchen items.
