Secluded and quiet stay with really great breakfast, great hosts, comfy and clean rooms, and great quality for the price. We enjoyed staying away from Queenstown but still close enough for day trips and exploring. Beautiful area, parking available on site, and even great location to catch some star gazing at night. Don't second guess staying here if you're passing through- it's absolutely worth it! Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Very clean, homely and had all of the amenities you’d want in a humble ski chalet with the added bonus of made-to-order eggs every morning by the lovely staff.

Loved the room. It was wooden, and even though it was connected to other rooms (it is a motel), it felt like cabins or chalets. The location is right opposite the pools so very handy. The room was clean and tidy and quiet. There was a really good heat pump in the room for chilly days too.

We love this place so much! Came back for another few days before we leave the area. So comfortable and calm. Beautiful setting. Cabins are great, stayed in Chaff Hut this time. Kitchen well equipped and clean. Bathroom and shower clean and spacious with lashings of hot water. Patio great for tranquil moments and time out. Town is lovely with 2 coffee shops, one at each end! Lovely walks around and close to Gore Bay.

Loved the location, big kitchen with use of onsite kitchenware. Nice little cabin. The reception organised a free shuttle pick up to the Aquataxi terminal. Had a good selection of different food items to buy with a great selection of beers and local wines.

Beautifully located chalets with stunning views on the terrace, living room and bedroom that exceeded my expections. Friendly reception and the cabin (and even the dishes) is services daily. The pictures of inside chalets give them a somewhat dated look but in reality they are much better and very well maintained and clean.

Super clean and cozy lodge with two bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. They have a shower, an indoor bathtub and even an outside private hot tub for stargazing at night. We tried the fire place which is quite straightforward and this gives a nice vibe of a cabin in the Forrest. They do have electric inverter so the fireplace is just a nice extra. Location wise , perfect! You can walk to the center of the town and only a Little over 1 km drive to the famous church of the good shepherd.
