Mackenzie District Budget Hotels

"Great property awesome location. Shared kitchen, bathrooms etc but that was fine. These facilities were clean. Beds good. Perhaps could do with extra power points. Had to buy extension cord fir Cpap machine but that's ok. Felt safe wandering around at 2am in the morning, starwatching. Nice & warm"

"What a disgrace of a business!! Upon arrival, we couldn't get anyone to answer the door. I saw a notice on one of the doors that said call this number for assistance, so did that, and it went to voicemail. We were outside in -3 deg weather for 3 quarters of an hour trying to get in. Staff were not hospitable at all, acted like we were an inconvenience, and that's putting it mildly. Room was freezing cold with an ineffective wall heater that did nothing. Bed was hard as the floor, and one cotton sheet with an equally thin blanket, not appropriate for the time of the year, we had to go to bed fully clothed. Not good enough for what we paid, in fact I want a refund. The worst place I have ever stayed ! "

"Very convenient on our way from Queenstown to Christchurch very nice town"

"Location is prefect for Mount Cook, view is beautiful. We are happy to stayed one night before go hiking. There is big kitchen in upstairs and large rest area."

"Cute place in a great location. The layout was nice, but needed some updates to things like the blinds, carpet, fireplace. Windows were drafty. Staff was great and attentive to needs. Would stay again."

"I loved my stay here! They call it a motel, but it is like having your own mini apartment. You are surrounded by breathtaking views too! The “room” which was a two bedroom, one bath, full kitchen, and small living room was clean and updated with minor damage on the kitchen floor from the fridge (I assume). Would recommend staying here! I hope to be back someday soon."

"Perfect accommodation, fabulous view would definitely return"

"Room was outdated. Would’ve been good to have shampoo provided. Internet was slow."

"An early morning lake view changes the entire feel of a stay. The scenery from our room was absolutely incredible. Plus, the staff here are young, energetic, and genuinely friendly. We didn't get a chance to eat the included breakfast, though. We had to rush straight out the door for our activity at Mt. Cook."
