Bed and Breakfast in Haast

"Wonderful Makarora Lodge - how can it be called wonderful? Do not stay here! Arrived April 27, 2028 approx 5:30 pm for a one night stay. Staff gone, picked up the two folded papers w/keys from reception area showing # of two chalets. Nothing has been done to the inside of the chalets for many many years. Mold on wood in room as you open the door on the right bottom wall. Very dirty stained carpet inside entrance, Only 1/8 - 1/4 inch of the roll of toilet paper in bathroom. Soap dispenser in shower was empty. Bathroom sink did not have a stopper so difficult to wash face or hands; you either had to use cold water or hot water (which of course would burn you). Took ~12 photos of interior. Some windows were left a little open when I arrived to chalet. Thank you, FFW"

"A good place to stop after the pass trip-exelent."

"The house is an oldie but a goodie, loved every minute of our stay there! The fireplace heated up the house so well and it really felt like home. 10/10 love it!"

"We were welcomed & shown our room. It was very quiet and relaxing. We have stayed here before & will do again"

"Great bed Not your fault really windy night a few rattles around the place All good"

"We loved our stay and our time in Makarora. It was spacious, with good kitchen facilities, BBQ, and comfy bed, lovely outdoor deck, aircon and fire box to choose from. Lots of Kiwi cottage charm. Birdlife and song incredible, hence the apt name! Close to some lovely walks too. Top spot for exploring the Haast Pass corridor, Lake Hawea and to escape the crowds of Wanaka but not too far away for a day trip. The cafe next door was closed for winter, but the cafe up the road was fantastic. 24hr petrol available in Makarora was reassuring."

"Beautiful cozy little place, burning native wood & having a fireplace was a treat, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area.Loved our stay "

"Suggest host install light fixtures rather than bare light bulbs everywhere and fix the leak in shower and kitchen window hardware. The bach was very clean and simple. Suggest you get any groceries before you arrive. "
