Worked really well for us.

Nice large apartment with two rooms and a pretty well setup kitchen. The bar/restaurant attached to it was very nice - especially the steak served on a hot stone!

The facility is clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. It is noted that this facility is very remote and “out in the middle of nowhere.” We used it as a base to get to Mt. Cook (~90 minute drive) which worked well for us. Finally the bar/restaurant was very convenient with good food. Recommend the facility for a quiet getaway
