The staff were lovely, they reached out early in the day to let us know that the key would be in the room and we could just rock up. The rooms were spotlessly clean and there were lots of spare blankets and pillows. My only gripe is that the water pressure was super weak - I struggled washing the shampoo out, but that's fairly minimal compared to all the pluses. We'd stay here again with zero concerns, it's a great place.

This was a great little town and place to spend 1 night on our way from Mt. Cook to Christchurch. The unit was large and comfortable. The town was very quaint. The meat pies at the bakery were fabulous and worth the wait in line!
