  • We stayed in one room in the big house. No one else was there. Bed was comfortable, place was clean, kitchen and common spaces really big and kitchen has everything you need. Can imagine big groups staying in this house very comfortably and being able to make fun,big dinners. It was a cold, rainy night, and the managers had started the fire for us. There are very few choices in Makarora because it's so tiny, but this is a great option. 4

  • There were quite a few flying bugs in my room, but once I'd used the bug spray I had brought, I had a great night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable and it was quiet outside. The continental breakfast basket provided was very nice and it was lovely to eat out on the verandah with the mountain vista before us. 4

  • Not much interaction with our hosts, wifi is only good standing at your car, but overall it was a good stay, and a good rest after a long day on the road. Unique shower, comfortable beds. Would stay there again. 4

  • Our studio unit was clean, warm and well equiped. The bed was so comfortable and the electric blanket turned on for our arrival was a wonderful surprise. Our hostess was a lovely and very helpful lady. We stayed an extra night and we hope to return again soon. 4
