A delightfully quirky hotel in a beautiful location
Pros:

One of the quirkiest and most entertaining accommodation I've ever seen. There's so much to look at in the area around and inside the hotel itself. The rooms were delightful, and the staff were super-accommodating

Pros:

This places is so cool. If you mimicking it's era this place depicts it all. The place felt very relaxed and comfortable.

Cons:

It could have been cleaner but it wasn't dirty. I think the running of the place just needs more caring and detailed hands.💜

A great Arthur’s Pass Kiwi experience!
Pros:

Great fun and in a lovely position in the little village of Otira. The inn was very eclectic/quirky but great fun! Bar, pub food, pool table, tv lounge, sauna! What’s not to like!

Eclectic and interesting! Absolutely worth a visit.
Pros:

We were surprised and delighted by the eclectic nature of the hotel. The host greeted us and gave us some brief histories along the way while showing us to our room. It was a pleasure talking with him! The food was wonderful and they kindly let us fill our water bottles up at the outside tap. We suggested they create a scavenger hunt or two for people to go through as they visit or wait for their food.
