Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I tried several times to contact the property manager at least 24 hours prior to arriving so we knew how to book in as it is unmanned. Absolutely no response to multiple attempts at phoning. When we got to the property there was a hand written note on the door with room number and keys were in the door. Room nothing like the photos. Beds were terrible. Will not be staying again.

Location was ok

Unfortunately one of our rooms had been newly painted, definitely not pleasant and I think they should have warned us about this when I first made the booking a month prior. No excuses, they should have let me know. That was very disappointing.

Convenient to ski fields and CHC airport

We spent one night and found the room to be overcrowded with stuff not useful to us--eg we needed more room for packing and sorting than for large screen, electronic stuff etc. Staff were a little too chatty, but having said that, the small studio was clean, the owners very pleasant.

マウントハッタスキー拠点の宿

ニュージーランドへのスキーは初めてだったが，マウントハッタへのシャトルバスの停留所前かつ，社会的評価が良かったので，宿泊してみた．宿は清潔に保たれていて，暖炉もあり，スキー以外は暖炉前で映画を見ながらくつろいでいた．スーパーマーケットや，バー等は徒歩5分程度の場所にあり，便利な立地だった．

Facilities: Home away from home; Value: Affordable; Service: Professional; Cleanliness: Spotless; Only suggestion would be an information pack for the main lodge would be good especially re the DVD's etc. If there was one we didn't see it.
