An affordable (non-camping) choice to base yourself for the Hooker Valley and surrounding hikes. The A-Frame rooms reminded me of school camps. Lots of timber and basic facilities. The room was clean and large and had everything you need. Great location, plenty of parking and the star gazing was incredible.

A decent clean quiet place to stay over if traveling between Queenstown and Christchurch. The old town district and waterfront are very nice.

Cute little chalet, easy check in. Clean bed, nice kitchenette. Not too far from Christchurch, great launching point for Lake Tekapo, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, and Wanaka. Can walk to downtown/restaurants, a park with old machinery just across the road kids might like.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The check in was very easy. It was a great location for our activities. We were not expecting anything special and that is what we got so we were fine with the stay over all. It is a cabin after all.

Good to stay here.
We love the place. Although the room is budget double room (smallest room type) but a room equipped with kitchen and clean. The location is not far away from many restaurant.

Breaking our journey from Dunedin to Christchurch with the idea we’d drive up to Mt Cook after check in. Had a few housekeeping issues which we brought to their attention, so hopefully they are resolved. Friendly helpful staff, comfy bed. Bathrooms need a bit of updating. Heating good.

A convenient stop for our visit to nearby Mt Dobsin. Clean and tidy. Very comfortable bed, hot shower and effective heatpump. The most important items for any stay and essential in -9 degree temperatures.
