I liked this hotel in this small town surrounded by stunning views of the rolling mountains. The rooms were comfortable (though the tub faucet dripped through the night). It’s a great value for a place with such interesting features.

Staff & breakfast were excellent & suggestion of dinner at Distinction was great (yummy dinner), but the bed was terrible, the worst I've ever tried to sleep on.

Owners were lovely, as were the kitchen/ dining area attendants. The place had so much character. David and Wayne were very welcoming and helpful. The view from the dining room and our room was magnificant. Breakfast was the nicest Mark and I had eaten. We decided to stay two nights instead of one.

Friendly manager who was very helpful. Very convenient location in between Lake Tekapo and Wanaka with huge property and hot tubs across the road. This will be a gem away from busyness of Lake Tekapo once renovated. Very clean despite the dated decor. Poop table and stunning views to the ranges plus great star gazing.

Everything you needed was in the room.
Apart from a leaking toilet everything was in order. We paid about $30 for the full buffet breakfast and it was worth it.

It is beyond my imagination that Hotels.com could not have alerted us the hotel we were planning to stay in was closed. Sure, we were moved to another hotel. However, we were alerted of this changed by reading a paper notice taped to an abandoned hotel. Imagine if we had arrived late at night, with no lights on. Do you really expect me to understand how an internet-based company such as Hotels.com could not have sent me a text to alert me of the change?!? You cover me requested to review hotels the minute I check in and the minute I check out, but you cannot provide an early warning about a closed hotel?!?! Unacceptable!!! Thoroughly unacceptable in every way

The Hot water and Cold water come out of 2 separate faucets. The rooms need upgrades. Its spacious but jaded and needs a urgent refresh.

We were shunted from a hotel in Omarama that we had booked because of an earlier seasonal close than anticipated.
Advice was that it would be an upgrade whereas in fact we were put in a very dated hotel with an unclean room with terrible carpet stains, non functioning smoke alarm, poky shower with curtain and shower rose which hardly functioned. All in all a very unsatisfactory experience and grossly overpriced. Definitely do not recommend this hotel.

We were moved to the Distinction Heritage hotel, just up the road, as this hotel was closed, which was lovely. We were very happy and had a lovely stay.
Wir waren fast die einzigen Gäste in dem Hotel und mussten sogar einmal zum Frühstück in ein anderes Hotel fahren, da es angeblich einen “Störfall” mit der Elektrik im Haus gab. Wir standen morgens um halb Acht vor einem verschlossenen Restaurant. Die Rezeption hat erst um 8:00 geöffnet. Erst dann haben wir erfahren, dass wir auswärts Frühstücken müssen. An ersten Tag gab es auch keinen Roomservice und es wurde nichts gemacht.
Ausstattung und gesamte Einrichtung war sehr alt und abgewohnt. Wir würden die Unterkunft sicher nicht mehr nutzen, obwohl es für die “Unannehmlichkeiten am Ende eine kleine Reduzierung des Übernachtungspreises gab.
