I don't know where sgtgwh stayed which resulted in the very negative comments posted, but I suggest it was not at Lake Brunner Accommodation and Golf Course. This place is superb, very comfortable and very clean. The two managers, Stacey and Craig, were models of friendly, relaxed hosts, who did everything possible to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. I would like to assure all prospective guests that they will be delighted with the place, and that they should ignore sgtgwh. Personally, I hate negative comments like his/hers being posted on sites like TripAdvisor, which can lead to perfectly good businesses being ruined. If such people are dissatisfied, they should discuss their concerns with the establishment so that any perceived shortcomings can be corrected, and NOT publish their uncorroborated negative comments for all the world to read. Maybe he or she hadn't got the guts to do so.

We arrived withh our booking made well in advance. We were assigned room 1, next to the office, and the associated comings and goings of staff, guests and phones ringing. Our room had glass sliding door and windows that opened onto the common walkway, no sheer curtain provided for privacy, only the heavy blackout curtain meaning you sat in the dark or had a light on without any air flow or you were fully exposed to all walking past. On our departure, Craig, the male manager was loudly expressing his negative opinion of Asians in general, and two guests in particular. this wennnt on for some time. The motel does not have any cooking facilities, no ironing facilities in the room, long life milk - not fresh. When I suggested to Craig that sheer curtains would aid privacy he told me the owner would not fit them, "perhaps she had an issue as a child" was his comment.

On the up side,the female manager,, name forgotten, was helpful and polite, the bed was comfortable.

This establishment has just several rooms, most overlooking a pleasant golf course and fields and hills beyond, just a kilometre or so from the small town of Lake Brunner, in an area with many attractions. The rooms are small but entirely adequate and very well equipped, not least with a very comfortable bed. The welcome is exceptionally friendly, with good advice about local places to eat. Cereal and toast for a light breakfast are provided at a small extra cost, to a tariff the lowest we paid for any overnight stay in a visit of a few weeks in NZ.
