Love the views, great service but the rooms are a bit dated, need flywire screens (lots of sand flies) and needs air-conditioning.

It was a huge disappointment. The room was small and stuffy, and there was no insect nets attached to the windows, so we can't have the windows open for ventilation without having to spend the night with insects/flies in the room.
There was no wifi in the room, nor in the office/restaurant area (maybe only a voucher code which gave us 50 MB access). But of course, this would suit travellers that are there to embrace nature without any distraction from the phone or the internet.
Nonetheless, the surrounding view was a nice one, and it was a great place for stargazing at night.response / report this review -

Nice place to stop for a night and have drinks at their bar. Very less vegetarian options and the owner's daughter and wife didn't seem too friendly though the owner himself was very nice to us. The bar manager Nikhil entertained us well though it was not his working day. He also suggested a nice hike nearby. Restaurant closes at 8pm and bar at 9pm. Cabins are a small walk downhill from the bar and restaurant. They are small and OK with good views of the river valley. WiFi is not available in the rooms. Neither is it free at the bar and restaurant. $5 for 50MB. A dissapear considering there's no cell phone reception too in the area.

Marshall and co very, very cool, meals are beautiful.
Marshalls wife is a horrible, horrible person and needs to learn customer service.
If no internet available because data cap reached that's not the customers fault, at least let long term customers use the phone to ring homeresponse / report this review -

Historic place and beautiful view in the rooms. Yummy food. However there is no mobile phone coverage (you have to drive 30 min to Arthur's Pass village for a phone call), some rooms has very bad wifi connection, plus it could be really cold at night.

The place looked a bit strange when we got there but we were delighted to find that this place is awesome. The staff were super friendly and helpful, suggesting a nice hike. The dinner (specifically the chicken and the burger) were some of the best I've had. Their breakfast was quite good too. The view from our room was the flower-laiden river valley with mountain backdrop. Couldn't have asked for a cooler place.
The shower is a bit small, and the roof was banged a bit with the wind, but I can't complain about those as the rest of the experience was too good.response / report this review
