Nice stay
The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Nearby the hotel there is a food truck that sells very nice cod fish. Next to the food truck you could get the delicious pizza with generous fillings.

Best hotel for stopover on way to Queenstown
We travelled to Queenstown for work at least twice a year and it is a good half way point for us to stopover without driving over 6 hours straight. We always enjoyed their dinner buffet. The interior does look tired but clean. The room has 2 queen beds + 1 single and a bonus bath. Very good value for money for a short layover.

Area around the property was full of nature and vast, breakfast served was very nice, however facility itself was very old and wasn't well maintained. Definitely not worth what we paid. Staff at the check in wasn't so friendly. Overall average.
