What a pleasant surprise. After overdosing on burgers and chips for the last few days, we didn't expect to get really good sweet and sour pork, and wontons at a Nelson Lakes tavern. Thanks Kim, and Mr. Kim, for making our trip!
So after finding Murchison booked out we were advised to continued to the Owen River Taven and Motel..Kim the owner was amazing about even taking our booking from the car,Kim greeted us at the property . The motel units was super fresh and clean and modern and faced the mountains and river. I suggest you push for the units facing the bush and river!! It is a fun place to stay with a great hostess..Linda and myself say thanks..plus that we had to also return a day later to collect some items we left behind which Kim called to tell us.....lols..
One night stop and we really enjoyed it. We used a Motel unit and it was very nice and comfy, great nights sleep. The 'Tavern' was great fun. Very friendly pair running it (Kim&John). Played darts and pool until we met some other guests from Australia and France, good laughs until it was time to eat. Then the best Chinese meal we've eaten in ages! Thanks, if we ever come this way again, we'll be back!
Stopped off for a coffee and scone. Paid for the food but was informed after paying that not enough scones were available. Waited for ages and eventually left without the scone. Restaurant felt a bit dirty.
OK for a nights stop off but the units are VERY small... room for a bed which we must admit was very comfortable... the TV was placed on the top of a wardrobe hence not the easiest place to watch … YES had limited coffee/tea facilities... Shower OK BUT we must comment on the evening meal we were offered in the tavern bar area... As we were the only guests we were not offered to sit in the dinning room but in the bar area...The choice was a selection of photos on the wall ….chose the fisherman's platter …. WELL did not expect it to be all frozen sea food straight from the packages from the super market …. Over cooked,. And if we were not so hungry was uneatable... Being in Owen River there is no were else to eat.. For NZD26.60 PP = what a rip off... VERY DISAPOINTED... also at the time of check out you just put your key in a box and drive off... No thank you or good bye.... .…
