Upper Buller Gorge Hotels

"Pool was closed for the season, but the rest was lovely. Gerat location and look forward to returning. "

"We arrived later than planned, after contacting reception via intercom, advised which was our room and given code for keysafe, found that ( in the dark on adjacent wall, lighting not good but had phone torch ) and after finding room ( site not that well lit ) we opened the door by key only to find it already occupied !!! Key also rather alarmingly fitted a neighbouring room ( with a very similar room name so in the dark the confusion by the occupier in our room could be forgiven ) and as that other room was set up ready we just moved in. Once inside the room was clean, pleasant etc but not without mosquitoes who fed on us well that night !! "

"A stunning property. A true privilege to be able to stay in such a beautifully restored and maintained property. The building and grounds are delightful. We felt very lucky having been able to visit such a precious property. Thankyou for sharing it. "

"Best thing was the staff. Welcoming and friendly "

"Good location."

"The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming to me and my dog. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of fridge and freezer room too. The rooms were spotlessly clean. The property is extremely quiet and you don’t even know that other guests are there unless you meet them outside of their rooms. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again. Very dog friendly "

"Quiet location and the host promptly sorted out a lack of water supply on arrival. Overall, happy with the accommodation except for the horrible polyester bed linen and lumpy polyester-filled pillows which were nasty and sweaty and impossible to use: after a sleepless first night the local bedding shop in Westport came up trumps with a cheap cotton bed linen set and wool pillows. From then on the bed was very comfortable. Otherwise everything was as expected. Plenty of do and see in the local area. "

"Almost everything about this place was great - i even had a decent view of the mountains over the fence through my back sliding door which i liked to keep open for the fresh late summer air when in the room. I barely heard any noise from people in other rooms, including no tv noise! The primary downside was the unsupportive mattress which was a common experience for me throughout NZ, leading to poor sleep and aggravated bad back, even with all the wonderful pillows. It also made it hard to ignore the sounds of very large trucks driving by or stopping out front, throughout the night. I ended up getting a white noise app and playing it loudly to help drown that out. I would consider ataying again, dependent on room location and probably not for multiple nights."

"Nice historical building, good facilities, quiet. Only negative was shower constantly went boiling hot then cold then hot etc. Otherwise 5star"
