Stayed here one night, the unit was excellent, a good amount of room, with excellent facilities. It was the only place in the whole of the South Island that had fly screens for the sand flies. For a place in the midle of no where it was excellent with supermarket, petrol station and pub.

On route from Lake Tekapo to Hokitika when we found this place. The owners were nice and friendly but there was nothing at Haast except the local pub which was very "lively" on a Sunday afternoon. This was the first place we encountered sandflies and the nasty bites troubled us for weeks! The studio room was spacious and clean and... More

If you are travelling from Queenstown to Greymouth and need to stop then Hasst is really your only choice - all the accommodation we looked at was over priced & basic. The staff on the front desk where very helpful and friendly. The lodge was ok, it was a bit smelly and the beds were lumpy but on the whole... More

Stayed in a studio unit which was spotlessly clean and comfortable although a little small. It had a small kitchenette, queen bed and small bathroom. Nice supply of toiletries and the best power shower I have ever used. There is a small supermarket just outside the rear gate which stocks a little of everything you would need. There is also...

We stayed here for one night en route to Queenstown from Hokitiki. We booked this motel through the i-site in Hokitiki and were told that Haast was very beautiful but that there was nothing there - right on both counts. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and the place was deserted. Our motel room was clean but very small and... More

Haast Township has very few motel choices, and this perhaps explains the rather average quality of the Heritage Park. I can't say there was anything particularly wrong with it - it was just a bit small, tired and not so well equipped. It reminded me of the sort of $20 motels you used to get in the states - but...

The Heritage Park Lodge is located in Haast, half way between Greymouth and Queenstown and is a basis bed and shower. Haast has few services, so be prepared for nothing but a bed. The motel is okay, the best part is the drive to and from Haast. The owner is gracious with what she has to work with.

Rooms are very simply decorated. The room was very cold: the heater did not work and the room is very poorly insulated. Unfortunately, if you travel on the West Coast, you do not have much choice.
