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.

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!

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.

Comfort, convenience, and a great view!

This place was phenomenal!! Wonderfully situated on the lake with an ideal view and convenient (walking distance) to literally everything. Clean, comfy, and well-appointed. An excellent hostess who gave wonderful advice, booked all experiences, made reservations for dinner, you name it; this cannot be under-rated, as the weather conditions change rapidly in Fjordland and having someone who can help with bookings, advice, and changes of plans was immeasurably helpful! The little touches were amazing - water on hand to refill bottles, great laundry facilities, ease of parking, etc...Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

A gem on the lake

A lovely apartment style Lodging... looked very new and was immaculate. Spacious, not over the top fancy, but very nicely decorated and top tier linens. One of the better places we've stayed in several weeks across NZ, beating out some 5 star places. Lovely view of the lake, but do note that your patio is the front door of your room and acts as a walkway connecting all the rooms so no privacy outside (you can pull the curtains Inside for total privacy). Would happily stay here again.

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.
