There are 2 cafes in town with marginal food. Otherwise it was a nice stop.

This was a journey break going from Punakaiki to Akaroa so it was only one night. We did the Devils Punchbowl at Arthur’s Pass before checking in and then the next day we did the Cave Stream Scenic Reserve (note: lambing has shut the stream exit from the cave Nov to Feb but continue around the path ...

The room was clean and the views were beautiful. Location is great, right on the lake across from the restaurants and star gazing tours. Parking area was full and difficult to find a space near the room. Overall, it was a very good choice to see and experience this beautiful lake.

Avalanche Peak is incredible.
It is a beautiful area, but unfortunately the day I arrived it started raining and continued the next day. Had to close the road later that day do to flooding in the area.
Gorgeous views all around town and It seemed a friendly spot! Watch out for the kea at the general store, cool to see but also a sneaky mayhem monster that stole four lunches right off people's plates/laps just while I was there
