Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very friendly staff, a lovely view out over the lake and although close to bus stops and backpackers, very quiet. A microwave would have been great to reheat meals but otherwise well equiped and clean. Close to everything including the supermarket, cafes and Dark Sky. It was a very relaxing 2 nights there.

Gateway to Mt Cook & stopover to Christchurch

Great location close to a great range of restaurants. comfortable, clean. Good hotel but a little hard to find. It would be a good gateway to Mt Cook (unfortunately the weather closed in on us).
