Detailed Reviews
Went for dinner at the Falls Hotel, Mataura. Ten of us with a reservation. All the meals were well cooked, delicious and well priced. Portions were very large, so several people only had a small portion. Couldn't have asked for a nicer meal.

Was a nice selection of food. I arrived nicely cooked & a generous good size. Great service. Didn't have to wait long either. Had optional nice selection of salads also. Plenty of parking & was easy to find. We went during week so was quiet and could easy talk.
