Top Matahina Forest Hotel Reviews

NauMai Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean unit and we'll equipped for cooking a meal. Friendly owner and bonus complimentary chocolate and fizzy drinks. Highly recommend."

Pacific Coast Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"We loved our stay. Everything you needed, warm, spacious, quiet, convenient and my czn is still dreaming about the shower pressure 👍 I was looking for the electric blanket on the bed to find that there wasn't one .. being in the middle of winter! To my surprise I found that what was on the bed was more than ample and there was a spare blanket in the draw. Have stayed in several other motels there but will definitely return to the Pacific Coast motel when in town."

Lakes Lodge Okataina

8/10 Good

"Gorgeous view and location. Was unaware that the restaurant was closed due to flooding which was inconvenient as when we booked it said that the restaurant was still operational. Everything was a bit run down but clean and smelled great. Shower appeared to be a bit dirty around the edges and sink took a while to drain and toilet didn't flush well. The resort manager Clare was lovely. Loved the glow worms. Would've been nice to know that the restaurant and a huge majority of the bar area is rotted from flooding and not operational."
