The Narrows Landing

The hotel was on a beautiful piece of property. I enjoyed listening to the birds sing. The room was comfortable and the breakfast very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. While the room was warm, the public areas were quite cold. The bathroom shower was great but more lighting and a different sink/faucet combo would be helpful as well as a door. Everything was clean.

Awesome place! The best/hotel/motel bed I’ve slept in.
Breakfast was great. So handy to the airport too. I’ll be staying there again on my next visit to NZ via Hamilton.

beautiful scenery, lovely staff, great room, and the bath was amazing

Loving peaceful place to stay while in the anrea for work. Easy check in. Large spacious bedroom and bathroom. Note there are stairs to bedrooms. Lovely outdoor area. I also enjoyed the continental breakfast which was included with my room. I would stay again.

Lovely clean property off the beaten track just a bit which means it’s supper quiet and relaxing - will stay again

Its close to the airport but it is quiet.
Only shame no full resturant on site

Beautiful 😍

Beautiful surroundings and property, the accommodation was lovely and the bed super comfortable, the building is showing signs of needing some TLC but overall it was a lovely building and facilities.
Staff were accomodating,a well presented continental breakfast was provided.
Our only criticism was the traffic noise which couldnt be helped and the high up window with no way to block out the light.
Also there was no lift available which made it difficult to carry heavy cases to our room.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Stayed for one night while passing through.
We chose it due to its proximity to the motorway and Hobbiton. The hotel is set in a beautiful, park-like green area. However, the rustic hotel has definitely seen better days. When we arrived in the evening, the place felt rather bleak, as there was absolutely nothing going on.

The welcome from the owner was warm, though. Since the hotel no longer has its own restaurant, we received good recommendations for dining out. The room matched the rustic style—which you have to like. For us, it was a bit too rustic. That said, the bed was comfortable and the shower worked as it should. Overall it was clean.

The only downside was that the room faced the street, so it was a bit noisy on that side of the hotel.

We were positively surprised by breakfast the next morning. We hadn’t booked it separately, but it was included. Our expectations were low, but it offered everything you need in the morning. They even offered us fruit to take away. The staff member in the morning was also very courteous and friendly.

All in all, The Narrows Landing—which in my opinion has potential—is neither great nor truly bad. It fit perfectly into our travel. itinerary, so all in all, it was fine.

Overnight stop on a longer trip

I booked this through an online site and was so pleasantly surprised on arrival to find such a stunning looking place. The grounds are stunning especially as it's autumn. Check in was swift and pleasant. Was nice to have a continental breakfast included the next morning in the beautiful and sunny dining room. The room was on the basic side for such a stunning place-but it had everything we needed. Just lacked the wow factor. The bathroom door was a bit strange with it being like a saloon style/barn door with no top or bottom. Privacy was an issue but we made it work. But we enjoyed our stay none the less.

Property was really nice and quiet, surrounded by a lush forest. We enjoyed the continental breakfast, had a good variety. I would suggest more towel hooks in the bathroom. There was only 1 hook that held 2 towels. Also, only 1 chair in the room. Not comfy if you’re a party of two. I ended getting a chair from the dining area. Other than that, this was a nice relaxing stay for us.

The suite was gorgeous and very tastefully decorated. We loved the calm environment and quietness of the property. The rustic charm was unique and a lovely change. Breakfast was adequate and enjoyable. The lady who checked us in early was really accommodating which enabled us to leave our luggage in the room and set off to clean the hire car which was very helpful and time saving for us, and much appreciated. Only minor, but curtain hook on one window needs fixing into the track as we had to place a chair there in order to block out the light and give us privacy.

Quant Lodge with accommodating staff. Nice views. Great experience overall.

It started poorly when we were told that they could not find our reservation, but we were lucky because someone had just a cancellation. The room was dated and had a large step up to the bathroom which was thru a bar door. There were no plug-in for electronics(USB). There was also a large window in part of the ceiling, letting light come into room from outside lamps and morning sunlight. They have no restaurant but provided a poor continental breakfast spread. Only positive was that the staff was friendly, not helpful. Our worst hotel in Australia and New Zealand.

Property is very charming and has a mansion feel to it. It is away from the city center so you will need a car to go around but a 10 minutes drive you will be in the city. Has lots of parking spaces plus a well groomed yard that you can enjoy. Would definitely stay here again

When we checked in they had no record of our reservation even though we had a confirmation number. No restaurant on site but they do have free continental breakfast. Refrigerator in room. No usb ports, no robes, no bath mat, no elevator you have to carry luggage upstairs.

Nice location. Reasonable rooms. Big bath is nice.
Worth trying out

It was close to my ultimate destination.
I did not like the lack of a one site resturant and also the room had two narrow steps just inside the room door

The rooms were so beautiful! We enjoyed our stay so much
