"Nina did everything possible to make our stay very pleasant. Breakfast was perfect, as well as the dinner when we had it at the Chalet. The wine is very good also. For our Tongariro treck, Nina prepared everything to take away and eat. We felt like home, discussing any kind of subject with Nina. As a coincidence, there is even a Cartier-Bresson black & white picture of our countryside in Seine-et-Marne (France) in Nina's living room. If we go back to NZ, we will have a stop at the Chalet Eiger."

Tereza Arthur's Pass Motel & Lodge
"This tiny "Nook" was delightful - especially the huge wet room with bath and picture window overlooking Arthur's Pass railway. A peaceful location and super comfy."
Louise The Nook
"After a busy day of driving from Hokitika, we decided to split our drive to Kaikoura by staying at this hotel for one evening. Upon check-in the young woman clearly explained the restaurant hours, breakfast plan and how to use the outdoor jacuzzi which we definitely utilized for star-gazing later that evening. Since the hotel is literally in the middle of mountains and valleys and rivers, the views from the hotel/restaurant/villa were fantastic. We spent a few hours star-gazing the Milky Way which is our passion and one of the objectives for staying here for the evening. Given the hotel's location, the restaurant menu was quite limited which is a shame but understood given its remoteness. Lovely stay and would definitely recommend this hotel for those considering....."
Perry The Bealey Hotel
