The motel is one of the best I ever stayed in during my New Zealand trip. It is new, parking is convenient, service is good. It is also near to the Tasman Valley track. I love my stay over there.

There was only one dinner option the first night - $85 pp buffet. It was nice, but more than I’d have liked to spend. From Wednesday to Sunday there’s another cheaper option at the lodge which served really great pizza and burgers. Super convenient for all that the national park has to offer. You just need to be aware of the food situation and be organised.

Very quiet considering the number of rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Small, but enough space. Comfy bed. Heated tiles in bathroom were so lovely after a long day hiking in the snow. The laundry was a reasonable walk and a little hard to find, even with directions. Limited food options especially Monday and Tuesday nights, so be organised or prepared to pay $$$ for dinner at the Hermitage. It was good food but expensive. Dinner at the Chamois onsite was good food and reasonable priced, but only open Wednesday to Sunday.

I think everything about the accommodation was perfect. However, since it was the low season, we went to the front desk of the Hermit Hotel to check in. There were four staff members at the counter, but only two computers were available for use. As a result, we had to wait a long time. Moreover, there was no clear queuing system, and three families cut in line directly in front of us. Although we raised this issue with the front desk, they told us we still had to wait behind them, which made me feel very unfair.

We stayed for 2 nights. Very clean and modern room. Great shower and comfortable room. Loved being in the park for convenience to hiking. We weren’t thrilled with the pub or buffet though and there are very limited dining options in the park. We knew that going in, but probably wouldn’t stay here again for only that reason.

We were unaware that ALL dining options in the entire village were closed other than the buffet which cost $83 per person - how convenient! We had to cop it on the first night and get cold food from the cafe and store it in the mini fridge for the second night. They know how to make their money.

We got upgraded to the Hermitage because of limited capacity during winter season. It was a nice upgrade in terms of us getting complimentary breakfast but it also meant that we could not cook our own food. There was no kitchenette at the Hermitage. The Hermitage was an old hotel and honestly has seen better days. It is dated but at least it is clean. Breakfast spread was great too.
