It was a great size unit, dog friendly

− Could do with a bench top oven or airfryer, we brought frozen pizza and chip then found we couldn’t cook them

Haast is a lovely place and the place was away from town - a positive but also a disadvantage As we were on a 10-day road trip of the West Coast, having a washing machine and dryer was what drew me to the place.

− Firstly calling it a motel is a mistake as one assumes there is a reception open at least over check in hours. Though we landed at those hours - between 2 and 4, we were spoken to by the owner in a brisk manner - given the key and shown where to go. All this outside the reception door, 5 miutes and then door shut in my face. If she had to be somewhere else, there is a nice way to apologise to your guests. Unsure if she judged us as international tourists rather than long time New Zealanders. The place is a 2 bedroom but very small. With 2 beds in one room it was cramped. We were just 4 but still over crowded. The lounge has too much furniture- huge sofa and massive center table and even a small dinning table n chairs. Was a bit claustrophobic especially as weather was bad and could not sit outside. The one heater given was not heating too well at all but after that reception didn’t want to go back to her. The house had no smoke alarms at all which is a fire hazard. Meant we couldn’t leave the heater over night to generate at least a little warmth though it was freezing. The bathroom was cramped. The shower curtain kept touching you whilst showering. Had to keep the window open to get rid of steam. Plus point was a full kitchen and a washing machine and dryer which worked well. This is the first time I have had to give a bad review. But it is the worst reception I have received over my 20+ years of travel nationally and internationally.

Been a long day of travelling and to arrive at the unit in prime condition with a welcoming smile from the owners was aw

Petit logement bien équipé, avec en prime une machine et un sèche linge. A deux pas de la mer pour pouvoir aller observer de beaux couché de soleil. Nous y avons passé une belle soirée familiale.

Good value for money.

Return visit. Clean and comfortable . Nothing pretensions but where it is located it blends well. Bit of a struggle in the bathroom to place necessaries.

− Don't rely on TV reception
