Host is awesome, and allowed me to do early check-in and upgrade my room to ensuite attached. The coffee bomb truck is there to feed me up as its a small town and I got my veggie option as well 😁 I stayed there because I am tired and want a break and the place is perfect. Thanks dear 😃😊

Okay, a port in the proverbial storm.

6.0

Location good, not too far south from Queenstown, particularly after a late overseas flight.

Lodge in complete darkness, no staff to open door after knocking on several doors and windows. Finally found a resident who let me in and showed me to my room and the communal dining area.

Disappointing

3.0

Location is great. This could be a great little hotel with some substantial redecorating.

Shabby. Classless. Grungy. Felt dirty.

Very poor

2.0

The bedding and towels had stains all over them. It’s right on a very busy noisey main road so anyone wanting a full night sleep think again, lots of bugs, definitely not a clean place to stay.
