Lake Hayes hotels from RM302

"Parking was an issue, I.e, insufficient amount of spaces and costs extra. First time I’ve had that happen."

"Not enough parking space for guests "

"Was pleasantly surprised by this gem. Loved having the kitchenette and the location was superb. Great value for the price I paid"

"Friendly staff, great location. Very noisy rooms caused by the stupid blinds on the pods that are impossible to get up and down quietly. So any time anyone moved it was incredibly noisy and impossible to sleep in that environment. The pods were hard to get in and out of."

"Breakfast was fine but was too much for one elderly person and thet would not supply a childs size meal for an adult ."

"Great location by the harbour and shops. Balconies to sit and drink in the views."

"Fantastic restaurant "

"The staff were usually nice, especially when checking in. The hotel room did not feel very clean. Housekeeping was not very good, I think they spent a minute cleaning the room. The water pressure was pretty poor in general, but on one night it was completely cold and unusable (which is unfortunate in the middle of a shower). The “king” mattress (two singles together) was very uncomfortable, did not sleep well on any night. The bedding was also too small for the bed, which didn’t help. The top floor king room bathroom was atrociously designed using a glass wall, making it annoying to use and completely lacks privacy for the toilet."

"Was really excited about this stay and it was the most disappointing hotel we experienced after a month in NZ. The photos were deceptive. The rooms are small and basic, very basic amenities in room, the shower floods, the bed and pillows not comfortable. Forget about the restaurant for dinner unless you book well in advance- they take a deposit and if you're not in the 48 hour cancellation window you lose your deposit. Staff seemed inexperienced and not as helpful as they could have been. Construction next door changed the setting with noise and view. The breakfast was good. We took Ubers and taxis back and forth because if the distance from town. Overall I'd say don't be fooled by the photos because it's a basic hotel for the price. "
