Independent, Mackenzie Basin hotels

"Great view of the lake, and proximity to 'town'. "

"Our welcome by the staff at reception was not very warm or friendly so my first impression was not very good. Our room was quite spacious and clean, but I admit that we didn’t realise that there were hotels that don’t have air conditioning, and this was one of them. Being a warm day and having a room on the second level our room was quite hot. They did provide a pedestal fan that helped. Breakfast was nice and the staff in the restaurant were friendly and helpful. "

"Fantastic location with Kea flying around in the morning. A bit noisy from the backpackers but not late so no disturbance at night"

"Close to town but quiet, peaceful setting. The French couple were very courteous and accommodating."

"The property was pretty expensive for what it was. "

"We were very impressed with the condition of the rooms and property. Centrally located and easy access to stores and restaurants. It is a reasonable drive in to the National Park and Mt Cook."

"Like an upscale motel. Very clean, beautiful views. "

"Staff were friendly and helpful. Place is dated but adds to its comfort, we enjoyed our stay. "
