“Staff were friendly and helpful. The Racecourse Hotel was quite central to catching up with family and friends. It also felt central to shops, supermarkets and places of interest. Our room was simple but comfortable with all that we needed. It had a tv, microwave, toaster and dishes. Our room was clean with towels changed daily. We extended our stay from 6 nights to 12 nights. We will certainly stay again when we venture down next time. Highly recommend. Great restaurant just across from our room and we had a few drinks at the bar where we won a couple of meat raffles. GREAT PLACE.”

“Had amazing quiet blissful stay at Cambrian Lodge Motel recently clean relaxing close to the town so will return beautiful hosts”

“Spent 5 weeks there and was a very pleasant stay. Place has very positive vibe and feel more like a big campground with travellers from all over the world than classic hostel. Met great people here and made good memories. John, the owner, was always willing to help and provide advice, regardless time of the day. Always had variety of jobs to provide, found me one just few days after my arrival. If you are looking for something more than just accommodation this is the place you wanna stay.”

“Comfortable rooms, beds, and pillows. The staff are really helpful. We'd happily stay there again.”

“Despite our last minute booking at 9pm, it was nice to get the instructions for parking and simple directions to use the shower facilities. We got off the ferry with our motor home at 1am in the morning. And the parking was easy. Lots of spaces for motorhomes in the powered site. Nice clean shower. Everything was neat and well managed. Love it. The lady at the reception I met in the morning was friendly, helpful and nice. Thank you for all the help”

“What a great and special night to celebrate our sons’ 21st birthday! The preparation was smooth, with regular monthly check-ins for venue layout, menu and alcohol. The Lodge catered towards our needs and allowed for layout to accommodate for head table, guests, band, cultural drummers and dancers, and also allocated space for dancing the night away. The menu was a beautiful array of cuisine of meats and salads with added food brought for family tastes. The buffet flowed effortlessly with smooth transition from mains to deserts. Excellent on the night co-ordination with Georgia and Peter, meant our family could celebrate and party with no hassles or concerns. The Lodge provided excellent services and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to celebrate in style and elegance! Well done to the Lodge, you made our night a special one to remember!”

“Maison Blanc Lodge is an experience not to be missed. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. The Chef Ron was so talented and delivered an incredible array of delectable meals for both breakfast and dinner. The location is tranquil and always changing. I saw the fattest woodpigeon I had ever seen, and they literally fly over your head. The view at night is gorgeous. Loved the swim spa. The decor is so interesting, and the bedding was very comfortable. The fire that was lit for us each night and was certainly romantic and added ambience to the whole experience. I can highly recommend staying at Maison Blanc Lodge. Thank you Neilio & Ron. It was just what we needed.”

“A delightful high quality location. Lovely hosts. Friendly and accommodating. Will definitely return for another visit. Highly recommended.”

“Awesome place to stay highly recommended”

“What a nice place to stay. We were waiting in Christchurch before taking the TranzAlpine. The staff were so friendly. General amenities were present and the hygiene and cleanliness was up to standard. Perfect for anyone”

“What a truly lovely place to stay for our extended family's vacation! The old Farmhouse has been excellently up-dated, but with the old hardware and architectural details that make it unique and special. We have farm backgrounds, so having the sheep, chickens and horses nearby was an added blessing. The house was very well cared for with comfortable beds. We chose it for its central location to visit Hamilton Gardens, Cathedral Cove, the Spellbound Glowworm Caves, Maori Cultural Experience, the Redwood Forest Tree walk, Hobbiton Movie set, and Lake Taupo Maori Carvings Sailboat cruise. Each day we were able to set out on a different adventure and still come back to a comfortable place in the evening. We cannot imagine a better place to stay!”

“Love this place!! Quite, clean, and the owner is amazing. Very friendly and accommodating.”

“Kathy, Grant, and Gretel are such warm and inviting hosts that you'll forget you aren't home.... that is, if you have someone at home who prepares a delicious breakfast for you while you relax! The property is gorgeous, with a blend of English garden and natural, New Zealand landscape. The location is a great balance of proximity to shopping and attractions while maintaining a private, rural feel. Highly recommend!”
