Homey Stopover

Amazing stop over in a lovely lakeside village. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Room and property were immaculate. Hotel offered beautiful views and walking proximity to all the town center has to offer. The kitchenette allowed us to grab some pasta at the grocery store and have a relaxed “home cooked” meal.
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay here, as we were touring on a Harley Davidson, Kerrie really looked after us and let us use the garage to keep the bike dry. The facilities here are superb, ask for room 14 which has one of the best lake views. Kerrie was an excellent host and really looks after the Customers. Breakfast in the room was great as well.
Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Kerri our host was first class! She was so welcoming. It felt like staying with friends and family. It’s the only hotel I would stay at in town especially because of Kerri.

10/10 Exceptional

Outstanding in every way

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are large and very comfortable. The staff recommendations for restaurants and activities were great. The rooms have sliding doors that open onto a joint balcony area with chairs outside and great views of the lake and mountains. Or, you can just sit on your bed and look out the sliding doors at the same view.

AMAZING LOCATION!

We were here only one night, but loved our stay! First, the staff is amazingly nice and kind! The location cannot be beat! It's legit right on the lake! We walked everywhere and the rooms are great! Highly recommend and was kind of sad we didn't have longer! We made our own dinner and sat outside at the table looking at the lake!
rebekah, 1-night trip

Worthwhile place

Lots of room and kitchen was well equipped. Enjoyed having free washing machine for use. No privacy on deck was a negative. Convenient to walk into town or around lake.

La relación precio vs hotel pésima

Fue el hotel más caro que pagamos en NZ y por mucho fue el que menos valor nos dió por nuestro dinero , es un motel de dos niveles sin elevador con el estacionamiento enfrente de las habitaciones , no tiene aviso socio ador en el baño , ni caja de seguridad , la ubicación igual q todos los hoteles frente al lago , hay muchas opciones iguales o mejores , con más onda para la zona y con mejores precios , el servicio de recepción muy amable , la regadera es para enanos hay q h agacharse para poder bañarse

Highly recommend!

You couldn’t find a better place to stay. Beautiful lake front property with a view, spotlessly clean, very friendly property manager, extremely comfortable and quiet property. I loved the heater in the bathroom for chilly mornings and the heated towel rack. Also, I mistakenly left behind a backpack with important contents and the property manager has been extremely helpful in getting the items shipped to me. So grateful!
