"After sleeping in a van for a few nights, this place was the BEST. In the United States, ‘motel’ means cheap and maybe a little gross, but this place felt cleaner than most hotels and had such useful kitchenettes in the rooms. Best warm shower and heated blankets. I’m honestly disappointed we couldn’t spend another night!"

The lodge is spectacular, and warm, inviting and comfortable.
All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, and the service unassuming and attentive. Staff will help with suggestions, and arranging any trips and activities you may want to do. Alternatively it is the perfect location to do very little. The food was delicious and dinner an experience itself.

We were greeted with a lovely warm welcome and made to feel at home immediately. Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful and obliging.
There was an extensive variety of mouth watering options for breakfast.
Overall we had a wonderful weekend an our hosts were awesome.

Totally recommend if you are wanting to relax, you're miles away from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown. Read a book, look out the window at the Dart river, watch a movie, eat and drink next door at the lodge or do a walk. Staff are lovely. We were on our honeymoon and loved it.

Awesome place if you’re out these ways. Philippa and Rob are amazing hosts. We got a garden view room with a lovely view. Convenient location. The hosts let us park at theirs while we were on the overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound. Breakfast was included and it was a clocked breakfast. Will definitely stay again

Motel situated a block off the Lake and walking distance to town is 10 minutes. There is a walkway through to Lake. Motel is clean, kitchen facilities are basic but sufficient. Plenty of coffee and tea provided. Bikes and BBQ's available and there is also a coin operated laundry. $4 wash and $4 dryer. Car parks a little narrow but overall a good place to stay

Great hotel and so central to town. Very friendly and helpful staff
No lift but the staff had a lift for the luggage to get to the second floor. Advertised as sitting area in room. When we got there the 2 chairs and table were shoved up against the window. Took me a while to realise when moved it actually was a sitting area and quite good. All in all a nice place to stay
