We enjoyed this property for its view of the lake, proximity to restaurants and Doubtful Sound tour operators as well as the size of our room. Our room was a two room suite with balconies facing the lake. The buffet breakfast was wonderful. The hotel is large, somewhat dated but well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The RealNZ office, our Doubtful Sound tour operator, was only one block away.

The room was clean, roomy and well stocked. The staff was efficient and friendly. The hotel location is great! The decor is a little bit dated, and the use of bright white lightbulbs is a little uncomfortable. Overall, this is a great and comfortable place to base your activity in the region from!

Good option for stay, great sauna on site. Rooms are a bit unique, but do the job if you are dropping in to get to Milford. We preferred food in town but had breakfast at the hotel and that had a great assortment of options. Super clean rooms and super helpful staff for requests and concerns. This is not a place I would vacation persay, but a great place to get a good nights rest!

Great location, clean, great views and hotel staff were courteous and helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. The only thing to be aware of is the hotel appears to accommodate a lot of bus groups, so if you're looking for a more quaint environment, there are likely better choices.

Staff and room were excellent. I stayed in a villa, which was roomy and well appointed. The additional amenities could have been better -- pool for example was small.

Needs an interior upgrade in the corridors and stairs leading to rooms, very dated and shabby. The bar area was beautiful and the dinner was excellent. Be sure to get the cheese plate for dessert, fantastic! Staff was very helpful and so pleasant.

This is an excellent hotel, we had a villa which was so spacious as we are away for an extended time we have lots of bags. I cannot praise the staff enough, from reception, bar and restaurant to housekeeping, everyone was great, even let me check out late for no cost when our trip plans got changed at the last minute

Room was nice, however, the grounds, pool area, and spa are in need of a major upgrade. Frankly, the landscaping and spa/ hot tub was depressingly forgotten about.
