The lakes motel is probably our favorite place that we stayed during our whole trip! Everything is clean, the rooms have been redone... The bed was AMAZING and so was the shower, had we known we would have such a lovely stay, we would have booked a longer stay. The staff is just lovely and welcoming, offering tips and help, we felt great here.. We will definitely return!

Motel is used for overnights when hiking at Mount Cook NP or cycling. It’s no frills but not inexpensive as nearby accommodation can be limited or block booked by tours. Area around motel rooms gets crowded and noisy with cycling tours loading gear and we were in the road side unit so felt this more. Otherwise it was a standard and typically decked out motel room.

The hotel is brand new, even can smell the painting of the furniture. Staff are very responsive for the condition of the room. They spent time to solve the issue for us is the air conditioning. They finally made it work for us! We really appreciate it.

Stayed Feb 2025. We were pleasantly surprised by this property. The room we stayed in - no.2 - had been recently renovated and the quality of the furnishings was better that some of the 4 star hotels we stayed in. The bathroom was large with a large shower area. The kitchen provided a microwave, small hob and a fridge as well as kettle and coffee machine. There is a laundry with washer and dryer. Recommend this property as a good base for travelling around the area.
