Absolutely amazing, the best there is.
Pros:

Absolutely amazing place to stay. The most spectacular place we have stayed and so worth the trip. The staff were so pleasant and really added to the overall experience. Hot tub at sunset overlooking the lake is a must! Would love to be returning some day.

Cons:

Nothing. Nothing at all. There is nothing not to love about this place

A good option in a remote location.
Pros:

Beautiful small cabins that fit in well with the surrounding nature scape. Orientation made good use of the lovely view over Lake Wakatipu. Comfortable bed and sitting area. Clean with some thoughtful touches (e.g., insect cream in dispenser, organic teas). Cosy cafe for breakfast with nice coffee and friendly staff. Close to some great walks (e.g., Lake Sylvan) and an ideal base for tackling day walks on the Routeburn Track.

Cons:

Cramped and poorly designed bathroom. 'Smoked' salmon on the menu is not the same as 'tinned' salmon on toast.

Pros:

Super helpful staff and really fabulous location

Cons:

Issues with their new technology, meant having to spend 1 hour trying to connect and ultimately really begs the question; why have the technology option advertised?? Would recommend removing it. It spoilt our evening
