Fantastic property with wonderful views! Very well equipped and great attention to detail including g a box of matches for the T-lights above the beautiful bath.
Only minor issue was one soap dispenser at the wash-hand basin which had to be used for that, the bath and the shower. It would have been helpful to have another separate soap dispenser for the shower/bath and two hand-towels rather than one.

Perfect location. Highly recommend the rooms with the sky view, even though it was really cloudy out the window we could see so many stars through the skylight which was really magical. Would love to have stayed for longer!

Excellent Stay with Unbeatable Views!
We had an absolutely wonderful time here. Everything about the park was excellent, from the warm and professional staff to the incredibly well-maintained facilities. The location is perfect—just a short, scenic walk into town and right next to the springs.

Lovely room with a scenic view over the mountains around the region. Absolutely chuffed with what we got for a last minute booking, would stay here again.

The accommodation was as good as anything we have found in NZ but it sits in a location you could hardly dream of. The bluest lake and the mountain backdrops are too good to be real and after you take a flight over mount cook there seems no way to raise your expectation it will ever be better than this.

This is incredible value for money. Apartment had some nice touches. We liked the football game. Great location in a beautiful setting. The vintage yard over the road was great.

Superb little boutique lodge. Staff can't do enough for you. Very comfortable room with garden and a fantastic view. Big bathroom. Food excellent - even a packed lunch - laundry done (at cost). Best hotel of our trip so far. It will take some beating. If you're on a road trip across the east side of the South Island and looking to break the journey consider a stop here. Flights to the glacier from Mt Cook airport, hiking, dark sky area. Beautiful views.

Great motel and efficient hosting. I did not actually meet any staff, but instructions and advice were all conveyed online and through info packets in the room; the eating/shopping recommendations for Fairlie were especially appreciated. Room was spacious and clean and well facilitated.
