We got great value for our money at Pukenui Lodge. The room was a bit small, but comfortable, and we loved having a private bathroom. The location was perfect, close to National Park, and the staff treated us like family.

The morning meal could have been better with more variety.

I recently stayed at a charming lodge in National Park, and it exceeded all my expectations. The business partner who managed the place was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The lounge area was fantastic with a cozy fireplace and even a table tennis table for entertainment. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen looked well-equipped. Our room was surprisingly luxurious and kept us warm throughout our stay. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, unlike the thin mattresses you often find in typical backpacker accommodations. I'm already planning my return visit!

Nothing to complain about here! 😊

Nothing - all good! 😊

Very clean rooms and communal areas, especially the bathrooms. Comfortable beds with amazing views.- Great location, close to key attractions.- Well-equipped kitchen and amenities.- Appreciated the provided towels and the warm atmosphere.

Limited and unreliable WiFi, not reaching all areas. Lack of proper communication and responsiveness from the staff.

The staff at the hotel were really friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, providing a good night's sleep. The location was great, with easy access to nearby attractions and activities. Plus, the hotel offered free Wi-Fi, which was handy for staying connected during our stay.

The room we stayed in was tiny, with just enough space for the bed and no extra room to move around. The lack of a light by the bed was also inconvenient, making it difficult to read or do anything in bed at night.

Despite being close to the main road, no road noise, great for a peaceful night's sleep. Convenient location for skiing, restaurants, and walks in the area. Very warm and comfy beds, towels provided. Amazing view, spacious rooms with TV. Great big kitchen and fireplace.

Felt so relaxed, no reason to complain.
