Best Hotels in Ben Ohau

We had a most wonderful four nights stay at Matuka Lodge. The rooms with the terrace and mountain view are just gorgeous. The gourmet breakfast was so delicious and also the option to have coffee, tea and snacks at all times was most helpful. We also enjoyed the deck chair area to view the stunning night sky - stargazing at its best. Also the perfect location to discover the Mount Cook area and the surrounding lakes by bike and car and also the Clay Cliffs. We felt at home and were sad to leave this beautiful place and these wonderful hosts, Mel and Mark! Best stay on our round trip!

The new house was only available to customers in November 2017. The key should be taken at the holiday home near the city center. Ctrip is not clearly marked. It is recommended to read it on the website. The navigation is not allowed. In the place where the navigation is located, you can see that the small mud road in front of a row of red houses is about 10 meters away. The environment inside the house is very good, the facilities are very complete, only the unexpected, there is no inside, oil and salt sauce vinegar and electrical appliances, etc., is very complete. The hall is facing a farm, there is no end, there is a stargazing telescope inside, you can see the next town. Stargazing at night is very positive. In short, the facilities in the room are very satisfied. The only problem is that it is too remote. A house in the evening is still a little afraid of safety. Everything else is fine.

The room was clean and convenient for parking. There is a large kitchen room, convenient for cooking, and the staff is quite enthusiastic and proactive. It can be said that this place is a very cost-effective motel.

Lovely reasonably priced wheelchair accessible accomodation. We’ll set up with self catering and suitable bathroom facilities. Two issues are the front door does not have a ramp for a wheelchair which meant manhandling the wheelchair in the door which is too narrow and needs to be widened. Difficult for my husband to help without skinning his knuckles. It’s then a very tight turn into the bathroom from the door, so a couple of design issues. Place immaculately clean and room itself spacious. No designated disabled parking spot which always makes it a bit tight if other cars park close. Good central location

Overall the stay was great and most of the staff were friendly and hospitable apart from an encounter with one lady who works there who really let them down. The heater in our room wasn’t working and since it was -4 degrees we went to ask if there was a spare one we could please use. The office had closed about 20-30 mins prior but we were freezing so we went to ask if they might have a spare one to heat our room with. We didn’t think that this would be a big ask, however it definitely turned out to be. One of the staff greeted one of our group by abusively pulling the fingers at them through her window, she hadn’t even asked what was wrong but once one of us said we were cold she started clapping. This is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable behaviour, if you can’t be nice and don’t like people why are you working in hospo? Really appalling behaviour and such a let down as the rest of the staff were really great and helpful & the spot is in an epic location. Recommend if you need help with anything, don’t ask this lady!

This is one of the several lodges on the pukaki air *****. The lady was nice. Gave me early check in. I could not get latter check out which was disappointing because usually in the United States check out is at 11 am or later. in NZ its 10 am. I did a quick run to mt cook national park and got back around 10 am and by the time the room was cleaned out. I sat in the lounge for a bit checking my plan for the day while I was told I had to get out as they were locking up the place to be somewhere by 11:15 am. as I was standing next to my vehicle checking maps on my phone in the parking area the guy yells from the balcony that I had ”overstayed” and he ”suggests I get going” I was a bit confused what seems to have offended him exactly since I had already left the lodge at that point, regardless this is no way to talk to a guest. I start to ask is there a problem when he yells no talking with a offensive sign and runs inside. This encounter felt shocking as I never stay at places with rude hosts. Sadly I won't be visiting this place again and wouldn't be able to recommend it.

A cute chalet in the town centre. Nearby the petrol station n also grocery store. Internet connection has been good. Has a small kitchen with stove, microwave for cooking. Cooking utensils are provided. Pls take note not to cook anything that has a strong smell in nature. Has a tv set n a sofa set n a dining table. Overall, satisfied with the chalet, although bathroom us a bit small.

Twizel is very much a summer destination so the hotel offers accommodation only We were warmly welcomed and immediately told that neither the restaurant nor the bar would be open. As Twizel was just our overnight stop on our way from Christchurch to Queenstown this was not a major issue. It became no issue at all when it was pointed out that Poppies cafe and restaurant was just across the street from the hotel We were given a local map and we were recommended a restaurant for our evening meal a short drive away. The room was large and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel is away from the town centre so it was very quiet. We got a good night's sleep. Poppies lived up to its billing and the brunch set us up for the day's drive. While I have deducted one star for the lack of onsite catering it was not an issue for us. I would certainly be happy to return to the hotel in the summer and stay for a few days to explore the town and its surroundings.

Our overnight stay at Lakestone Lodge was definitely the highlight on the journey. The weather initially didn't cooperate when we arrived, but the warm and friendly welcome from the Lakestone Lodge team more than made up for it. The room fulfilled all wishes from furnishings to stunning views of Lake Pukaki & Mt. Cook, there was even home-made cantuccini. After a magnificent dinner, which was lovingly garnished and warmly served, the rain cleared and we were able to enjoy the lake and mountain views in the light of the full moon. Definitely nothing more. Dear Anna, Mike, Steffen, Kelsey, Izzi, Tom and Erika, thank you very much for the incredible overnight experience, the excellent food and the loving care.
