    Pleasantly surprised

    Don’t judge a book by its cover! This hotel, classes as 3 star has surprised our expectation. It’s kinda half way between Queenstown and Wanaka. My family (2 kids, 1 infant and 2 adults) stayed there for a night. We absolutely loved the atmosphere from...More

    Great coffee

    Stopped here for a coffee and was surprised. The best coffee we had whilst in New Zealand. If you are travelling from Queenstown to Franz Josef do not hesitate to stop here. All we had was a coffee but the food looked and smelled delicious.

    Thank gincledon

    Thanks for calling in and taking the time to leave your reviews! We're glad you loved the coffee, we like to boast it's the best in NZ too but may be biased..

    Amazing "Gold Rush" Hotel

    This Hotel is extremely quirky with a real Gold Rush feel. Its history helps give a real charm and the property and grounds are filled with period features and buildings, I particularly liked the Tesla charger disguised as an ancient petrol pump. There is no...More

    Loved our stay

    We loved everything about the place. The staff were friendly, the rooms were comfortable and tastefully decorated, and the beer garden was one of our favourites so far. Loved the historic feel of such a beautiful old hotel. Would definitely come back!

    Good morning. There are shuttles available but they must be booked beforehand as they do not stop here as a matter of course. The best people to contact are either Alpine Shuttles or Yello out of Wanaka.
