Room was clean, plenty of space. Loved the picnic tables outside the room and the laundry machines available....Only complain was no A/C, it got hot and we didn't want to leave the doors open overnight, there were no windows. Good location and views.

We had a 3 night stay, bed comfortable, room clean, quiet and heating worked well the room had everything we needed. Shower could have had more pressure and water a bit hotter but it did the job. No real view of the lake from our room just a tiny faction which was disappointing specially as we spent a full afternoon in the room as it poured rain all day so would have been nice to look out over the lake. Walking distance to cafes etc, we did drive as it was so wet. Great base to do Milford sound. Would stay again, staff were very friendly and helpful.
