“Wonderful Location, Great Owners”

I have stayed here numerous times as it is ideally placed for an over night stay on long journeys on the West Coast. Since my last visit, the motel has gone through a change in ownership. I received a very friendly and warm welcome in Reception. In all my motel stays in NZ over 21 years, I have never before had an informative guided tour around my room, with plenty of friendly advice. The motel has gone through quite a bit of modernisation in recent years. Everything was very clean, it all worked and the bed was very comfortable. An added bonus is that just a 2 minute walk away, is the Hard Antler Tavern and Restaurant - many a great night had in there over the years and their food is very good too!

“Cosy motel in Haast”

Stayed here for one night on the way from Wanaka to Fox Glacier. It is too far to drive really all that way in one day so you have to stay somewhere on the way and there are few choices in Haast, but only one shop, one cafe and one restaurant / bar. It is a very small town. I am glad I had booked t… lisää

Stayed here for one night on the way from Wanaka to Fox Glacier. It is too far to drive really all that way in one day so you have to stay somewhere on the way and there are few choices in Haast, but only one shop, one cafe and one restaurant / bar. It is a very small town. I am glad I had booked to stay as the drive from Wanaka was quite scary, orange warnings on the road due to snow, rain and wind. So I was quite rattled when I arrived. By the time I arrived there were also gale warnings in place and the wind was blowing hard with strong gusts so any plans I had for Haast were shelved. I was going to drive on down to Jackson Bay to have a look but I felt the gusts blowing the car a little! The motel is well laid out, about three blocks of ground floor apartments and lovely gardens. My room had a King size bed, fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. And it was warm and cosy. The one shop was about a 2 minute walk away although it is not particularly well equipped. The TV had Netflix and Prime but you had to use your own log in. It wasn’t as affordable as some places I stayed on my trip but the NZ school holidays had started. I was warm and cosy while the storm was raging outside, so all was good! The power went out in Haast during the storm but this was an area wide issue not a motel issue and it came back on quite quickly!

“Decent place to stay”

This is a decent place to stay - a bit dated, but clean, maintained property and reasonably priced.

“Ok stay.”

We stayed here last night on our trip from Wanaka to Hokitika. . We checked in and met the friendly owners. Our room was called a queen studio unit which was rather small with a double bed, microwave etc. it was clean but in need of modernisation to bring it up to the standard of other motels we h… lisää

We stayed here last night on our trip from Wanaka to Hokitika. . We checked in and met the friendly owners. Our room was called a queen studio unit which was rather small with a double bed, microwave etc. it was clean but in need of modernisation to bring it up to the standard of other motels we have stayed in. Would I recommend it I’m not sure.The only place to eat was a pub nearby which was ok .
