"Set in a tranquil location and the staff was very helpful. Thanks for an enjoyable stay. Clive & Chris. "

"Located on the Bealey riverbank, Arthur's Pass area in the South Is, NZ and all it's beauty. Staff at the hotel were welcoming and the cabin accommodation of excellent quality. The only drawback was a hot shower the heating system is run by a generator. Recommended."

"An older property but well cared for and lovely warm bedding and heating for the cold nights. Short walk to the village for meals. "

"Best beer "

"After a manic couple of weeks navigating Christmas and a large family wedding 'Auroras Landing' was the perfect escape. Perched above the lake it offered beautiful views, quirky, yet well appointed and comfortable accommodation, and easy access to the varied activities Lake Brunner has to offer. We took advantage of the new lake cycle track ( still being built) and the proximity to the West Coast Wilderness Trail. There were beautiful walking tracks nearby - the Arnold Dam track was an easy wander and a delight as was the discovery of the miniature bungalow built in the 1930s by students of Jack's Mill School. Chrissy and Ken were lovely hosts and even arranged for a clear night sky on our final so we could sit in the bath and star gaze. Magic! Our only complaint was that our 5 days in this uniquely New Zealand accomodation went too quickly."
