Loved this place. The room was freshly updated. Great kitchen with a washer/dryer (tho i couldn’t quite get the dryer bit to work) and even a small dishwasher. Big fridge. Been traveling in NZ for about three weeks - this is definitely the best place we’ve had. Would stay here again for sure.

Nice amenities, quiet. We were impressed with the kitchen amenities. The bedroom was a bit bright overnight because the outside security light shone through the curtains, otherwise very nice.

Perfect stay
I was bit hesitant booking this hotel as it's 50 kms away from Lake Pukiki and Lake Tekapo/Mt. Cook were further away. However, it turned out to be great stay. The motel is maintained very well. All the amenities were good and very clean. The owners are very hardworking and make sure that the guests are comfortable. Location of the motel is great too. Benmore is underrated and not in the list of must-see-places in NZ. A change of plan due to weather gave us an opportunity to visit and it turned out to be highlight of our trip. I wish we had more time at Sierra and Omarama.

Awesome place
High standard of equipment. Found the crockery shelves a bit high to reach, but that's more about me than anything else! Staff friendly and helpful. We have stayed there before, and would recommend it to anyone. It would have been nice to have a teapot among the kitchen items.

Excellent motel - all the facilities you could wish for, clean, with friendly, helpful staff. Great location for seeing Mt Cook or taking the Air Safaries Tekapo flights. Only problem - and not the fault of the motel - is that there’s just one restaurant in the village (Boots and Jandals) and even if you book you need to wait a looooong time for service!
