Independent in Shiretoko Peninsula from NZ$322

"Relatively spacious, well appointed rooms. Just make sure you ask for soft pillows!"

"I enjoyed my stay. Having access to a kitchen was great, the staff were friendly (even offered me some soba noodles one morning) and the sea view from my window was great. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, as was the chair I was sitting in to work for a bit. There are stairs in this property (no lift) so it may not work for everyone. "

"Good views from the room. Clean. Friendly staff."

"Beautiful hotel! The free drinks are helpful any time of day (alcohol only in the afternoon and evening). The onsen is well worth a visit: go at 7pm as it's very quiet while people are eating. "

"Hotel is excellent in all areas like food, Onsen, foot bath, afternoon tea, size of room……… Not much to do and see outside unless drive or tour. Different shape of rocks can be seen from room. "

"Stayed in the top floor suite for 3 days and found every penny worth. Great service, great room and great views The only drawback is the distance to Rausu. We did not have a car, but the front desk helped in every possible way for taxi, buses."

"Very friendly staff - nice dinner and breakfast"
