The hotel is situated in a stunning location with superb views along the valley floor surrounded by mountains. Checkin was very quick and the rooms too have an excellent location a few yards down the hill from the main building. We had room 3 it had both a double and a single bed and the layout worked very well. Room was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. Restaurant provided a good selection of well prepared food at competitive prices and the staff were very attentive and professional. Overall this was an excellent hotel with a stunning location. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

Nothing springs to mind.

The Bealey is amazing. The view from our villa was stunning. The suite was extremely comfortable and well equipped with the added bonus of large lounge chairs. We had a large outdoor spa which we didn’t use but it would have been lovely to sit out there in a warm spa. The Bealey is some way out of town but there is no need to leave as they have a quality restaurant on site. The food was excellent at a reasonable price and also comes with a lovely view. A continental breakfast was included with the price of the room and is served in the dining room. We only had one night here but I would love to have enjoyed the ambience at this lovely hotel for a few more days.

A note to remember - Check in is at 3pm. The reception is not open until then so don’t arrive earlier.

The location was stunning and the property was extremely well equipped and immaculate. Both bed and bed linen were excellent. The staff could not have been more helpful!

The breakfast, which was included in the price was a little disappointing. There was a reasonable choice of cereals if you eat them, some sliced salami , cheese and ham and cold hard boiled eggs. There was white sliced bread and a few white bagels but on the second morning no whole meal bread at all. The limited selection of fruit was mostly underripe. There was plain yogurt in little pots as well as some pre prepared pots of fruit in juice. The coffee was ok.

The location is beatiful - "in the middle of nowhere" - if you want to get away from civilization and closest villages. The small number of villas are located in the middle of very picturious landscape. The room was spacious and comfortable to stay on. The restaurant is very close by to the villas.

The breakfast was "very simple". Nothing was wrong with it, but you just need to be prepared about what to expect. We arrived too late (8:15pm) to taste the restaurant dinner so can't comment about it. It would be more convenient for us to have it opened for longer hours but I understand that in this place with very limited number of people it is not feasible.

I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly lovely and accommodating, and the view of the mountains was simply breathtaking. The beds were super comfy, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the Netflix and WiFi provided excellent entertainment and connectivity. The food at the local restaurant was delicious and VERY well-priced.

However, there were some things I wish were done better. The breakfast included in the stay was a cold continental style, where you fill out a form and they provide you with the checked items. It was decent for $25, but not what I expected when it said "breakfast included." Additionally, the sink in the bathroom was poorly set up, causing water to spill onto the floor. On the bright side, the showers were nice.

Views to die for. Great sized apartment. One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The sap on the private deck was fantastic! The associated pub had great food and great service. A definite highlight of our trip around the South Island so far.

The pub and accommodation only opens at 3pm each day, which leaves little else to do in such a remote region. The sauna on the deck was amazing, but the operation was glitchy. We had to climb under the unit each time we wanted to use it, to reset the mechanism so the jets would go.

A beautiful location, warm and cosy room with comfortable beds and pillows. Soap, shampoo & conditioner and bathrobes provided. Basic tea and coffee supplies. The continental breakfast provided was fantastic with plenty of options. Toast, bagels, cereal, pastries, fruit. The shower was great pressure and the best of our trip around the south island!

Some doors and windows didn't shut properly due to age, but they are upgrading the rooms gradually.

The Large, private villas have a wonderful view over the remote wilderness landscape. The villas have been recently renovated and are a great stay. The king bed plus sofa pullout was perfect for our 3 person family. While there is no kitchen there is a table and tea available. The restaurant and bar is homely and the rustic. My steak was cooked well and tasty, although on the expensive side. But hugely grateful for the good food in such a remote location. Smashed hamburgers were awesome. Included breakfast is very good. All of the staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful. I'll definately be back.

Nothing

Fantastic location and our room/cabin had a superb view. The room was spacious and well equipped. Love the light up mirror in the bathroom. Everything you needed was provided. Good choice of buffet items for breakfast.

Staff who struggled to understand Basic English. Only receiving One Evening meal when Two identical ones had been ordered ……… word to future diners - Ask the Waitress to REPEAT YOUR ORDER to you before she disappears. In all honesty the Manager did rectify it only After I’d taken the first meal to the bar to be kept warm (it returned just warm not hot) and I regret Not taking a photograph of it when it initially appeared as I am convinced some of it was “shared” with the second dish when they both returned. Waiting staff need to be taught how to serve wine.

Room was lovely- spacious with an excellent view, quiet and not overlooked

While the hotel were clear that checkin was at 3 pm and checkout at 19 am, it was not obvious that all facilities were shut between those times. We arrived late afternoon and came into the bar/Restuarant area rather than go to the room. When we asked about WiFi password we were told all the info was in the room. It was only later a kind waitress pointed out the WiFi password was shown on the two walls adjacent to the bar area. The receptionist saying we had to go get the information from the room did a dis-service to the establishment
