"Initially our room bed wasn’t good but reception happily helped us to change the room. Operation manager was very nice and receptionist also understood the situation. Apart from the noise (obviously due to helicopters flying) everything was fine. Scenic hotel is upto my expectations due to such a great staff. I will go back for sure as my helicopter scenic trip got cancelled due to bad weather. Cheers "
"We had a great stay. The animals (alpacas and goats were fun), the glow worm fell was amazing (we liked it and we have previously been on a glow worm cave tour). The beach access was great. Room was clean and private."
"More amenities than we expected which was a pleasant surprise. We also arrived earlier than expected and the staff were completely accommodating and ready to check us in early. We were very thankful after a long drive."
"Clean room and bathroom! Staff wonderful and friendly dogs to greet us! Close to Lake Matheson and able to see Fox glacier just down the road. Woke up to a fabulous view of Mount Cook this morning! What more could you ask for!!!"
