Can't wait to come back here, apart from the gorgeous view and funky bathroom we arrived late and hungry and could order pizza 24 hours! Gluten free and vegetarian, it was delicious. Walked into town every day (and night) and bus pick up for our Milford sound day was right outside.... amazing place.

Great hotel with great views

We booked the mountain view room and it had amazing views of both the mountain and the lake. Hotel is in a perfect location on top of the hill with great views. Only a short walk to town. Staff were super friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was enjoyable. Only criticism is the pillows.
