Lovely stuff, the room was clean and cozy, and the restaurant served us some pretty amazing dishes. The view right outside the hotel is also amazing. Bonus point for Walter the cat, very soft and behaved boy 💕

Lovely cosy fire
Pros:

Was just looking for a simple room, but chanced upon a place with breakfast and an awesome restaurant.
The open fire gave a very cosy alpine lodge feel. Very impressed. Great staff too.

Pros:

Breakfast very good. Fabulous friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

The bathroom needs much more space for 'putting things'. The TV 9not that we were there for that was too small too far away from the bed!

Pros:

The staff were lovely, and the accommodation is within walking distance of Ōpuke. The food at the restaurant was amazing, and the fireplace created such a beautiful, cosy atmosphere. We stayed during the off-peak season, but could easily see how busy and popular this place would be during ski season.
