Very nice simple accommodations. Nice area and close to the small Town near by. Walls are a bit thin so you will most likely hear your neighbors. But very clean. No television but good WiFi

Excellence at its best

The whole experience was at a 5* level. From the checking in, through to customer service, through to accommodation, through to it's evening meal menu, through to it's selection of superb breakfast home made choices through to check out. I cannot say enough in praise. It was truly a remarkable stay. Next time will stay for more than 1 night.

Great Stay and staff!

The staff is amazing from our communication with Pete and arranging our stay and the service we received in the restaurant and the reception desk. So warm and friendly. The room size was large giving us room for our ski bags etc. Please with everything. The only negative was hearing some noise between rooms. But easily o relooked with all the positives.

Had a great stay here. Warm, cosy, clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast and great service in bar/restaurant. Handy to Mt Hutt for skiing or Opuke pools for relaxing. Make sure to book the pools in advance as limited number and book out fast.
