Worked really well for us.

Nice large apartment with two rooms and a pretty well setup kitchen. The bar/restaurant attached to it was very nice - especially the steak served on a hot stone!

The facility is clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. It is noted that this facility is very remote and โ€œout in the middle of nowhere.โ€ We used it as a base to get to Mt. Cook (~90 minute drive) which worked well for us. Finally the bar/restaurant was very convenient with good food. Recommend the facility for a quiet getaway

Caution

I rarely leave any negative comment, but this stay was extremely terrible. The room was full of flying insects, as seen in photo. Kids were scared to sleep or to use the bathroom during the night, and had difficulties continue their journey. Understand it is close to lake area, but there should be control measurement in place to provide accommodation service. After communication with the provider via Hotels.com all I received was a cold email saying no refund to be provided.
