完美的选择
Pros:

瓦纳卡的酒店不太好定，也为了一天不赶太久的路，选择了住在Hawea. 这个小镇的体验感出乎我们的意料，Hawea湖太漂亮了，酒店的12个房间都是湖景房，我们定的阁楼房两层楼都可以看到美丽的湖景.Tekapo没有看到的星空，在这里全都看到了. 每一间房间都有自己的停车位，就停在门口很方便，就是注意冬天早上起床车玻璃可能会结冰，需要用水浇一下. 入住时酒店贴心地送了我们四个人一人一张免费的饮料券，可以在酒店自己的餐厅或酒吧使用，15纽元以下的任选，可以选的种类很多. 酒店附近没什么餐厅，也不能做饭，所以在酒店自带的餐厅就餐是个不错的选择，同时价格也比较合理. 你在入住的时候有可能能看到一只可爱的小猫在阳台，第二天早上起来时湖面带着雾气美极了. 总之非常推荐这家酒店，可惜听说年底前要停业了，希望以后能再来Hawea游玩！

Cons:

酒店的设施有些年代，洗手间的门不太好关. 酒店的餐厅等餐时间较长，但这一切都是值得的.

Pros:

Our room was very tidy and the view we had of the lake and surrounding Mountains was absolutely amazing!! Location of the Hotel was incredible as well although we heard it was being relocated to make way for a residential apartment development. Hope the new location is just as good!!

Cons:

As we dined late at night, the staff were busy cleaning up so service was a little slower but was still good and prompt when they were able.

But we absolutely loved our stay and the boys in the restaurant were amazing!!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We could hear next door snoring. Needs proper insulation.
The windows weren’t air tight so it was howling all through the night. Had to use towels to block some of the noise. Leaked above the glass door.

A fab hotel with an amazing view!
Pros:

Excellent hotel with clean facilities and lots of space in our apartment.
The room was warm with an amazing view off the balcony.
The free drink with a meal order was a lovely gesture. After a long day of travel we visited the restaurant and the food was amazing and the staff were very friendly.
