The place it's a nice stylish property. Only problem was the noise from outside what the other guests made late night. The place good for people who want to have a nice dinner at the restaurant/bar & want to stay for a night. Only for travelers maybe it won't be the best choice. Thanks

It is a must place to stay. You will love having a break fast or lunch or dinner. Especially the location of the Hotel is Unique & I really loved staying in the hotel & Beer garden at the back is so beautiful. You feel like you’re sitting in a Historic hotel.

It's a beautiful hotel in a lovely location. I highly recommend it. Would have loved to stay there more than one night. Would love it if there was a fridge and microwave in the room. The food in the bar was amazing, albeit a bit pricey.

This hotel is a hidden gem. It is quaint and charming, and actually delivers a unique experience to customers. It is only 15 mins out of Wanaka and you could drive past without noticing it. We stayed in the Captain's room hidden behind the hotel in a lovely garden area. The room was little but very cosy and beautifully quirky with little thoughtful touches. We indulged in the hot tub before our delicious dinner and enjoyed the view of the mountain peaks. Having stayed in other top rated hotels around the South Island, we cannot recommend this place more highly as it stands out as not just excellent value for money but also creating a lasting memory of somewhere very different in a world of uniform experiences.
