Haast does not have a lot of places to stay and this motel does not appear after a seach of Haaast on trip advisor. However it is a very nice place to stay. The receptionist was helpful and welcoming and the room was large, clean and well equiped. The bed was comfortable and the shower good.I would recommend this as... More

We stayed overnight enroute to Franz Josef and this was perfect for us. It was easy to find, clean, quiet, comfortable. We were allocated a unit big enough for a family of four so there was plenty of room for us. The rooms have a nice garden outlook compared to some motels that front a main road. Whilst the unit...

We had a studio apartment which was quite basic though well enough equipped. The bed linen had not been ironed and there were several hairs on it. This is really a back packers stop over and although the studios are behind their accommodation, laundry facilities are shared. We were on our way from Queenstown to Fox and wanted to take... More

Nice upmarket motel with good facilities (kitchen was a bit limited on utenslls). Quiet location and the first place we found with insect grills over the windows - they should be on ALL motel windows in this area!

Good for an overnight stay - we actually stayed 2 nights in February 2012. Haast is one of those places normally used as a stop over on the route down, or up, the West Coast. The town has all the facilities necessary to make the stay work - including bars, eating out options, shops and petrol (which is more expensive).... More

A good place to stay if you're just wanting an overnight stop-over on your way to somewhere else. Situated at the southern end of the road down the west coast, it's well placed for that. There are several places to eat, and a general store nearby. Our studio unit was clean and well appointed, with the usual equipment in a... More

The place is a decent option in an area where many places seem to gather many bad reviews. Hotel was clean. Large studio, with a decent kitchenette. Not much of a view but then again you probably won't hang out there long. Bed comfortable. Internet is via satellite and thus expensive and not fast or reliable. Staff was friendly and... More

There's not much in the town of Haast but if you have to stay here, this is as good a place to stay as any. We stayed in a studio room in mid-December and paid $98 for the night. The motel is located in town close to the restaurant where we had dinner. The room was clean and well presented... More

We had a 2-bedroom unit, rather small but inexpensive. The kitchen included a full oven. We watched keas and fantails in the grounds. It was quite adequate for an overnight stop.

Terrific basic motel. I would not expect anything different in such a location. We were only here for overnight to break up the drive between Te Anua and Greymouth. Comfortable beds in the bedroom and livingroom area. Kitchen was outfitted with all the necessities. Everything was clean and in good condition. Staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions on where... More
