Great view and location…but very noisey.
This hotel had an amazing view but unfortunately it was incredibly noisey. I could hear the occupants of both rooms on either side and also the room above. It needs a bit of a refurb and the black mould on the bathroom ceiling is not a good look….

Disappointed.
Our rooms were right by the stairs which are metal. a noisy group of Chinese people on tour arrived at 9pm and continued to bang up and down the stairs and talk loudly for an hour... very loudly. right outside or on the stairs and on the upstairs corridor. Then at an early hour in the morning they were up again and it was a repeat of suitcases rolling along and up and down the stairs. We also had booked for breakfast and paid for it but on arrival we were told the restaurant was closed for alterations. No one from the hotel had contacted us to advise this prior to arriving. one of the reasons we booked was to get a hotel breakfast before we got on the road to Queenstown. While we were refunded - most of the cafes along the road were closed that morning and there was a huge queue at the one that was open.

Cute, sleepy lakefront hotel
This was a cozy, motel style venue. It had one of the nicest bathrooms that we had on our full stay in New Zealand. It is in a small remote area of the country so a couple things for US-based travelers to be mindful of: the front desk people may be on a break occasionally, but generally will come back within 15 minutes. There won’t be somebody at the front desk in the late evenings, but I believe there’s a phone number you can call to still be in touch with them. There also is a door on the side of the hotel that remains unlocked throughout the night for people to come and go into the hotel, while the front door is locked. We felt perfectly safe at this location and it is super convenient to all of the restaurants and shops in the area as well as the local landscape sites. We would stay here again.
