The motel was closed upon arrival! Tried calling the motel and did not hear back. The signage said Motel closed no one around.

The chalets are so cute and comfortable, and they had the heater running before I checked in so I could be toasty and warm in winter. It's a little rustic but charming and has a view of beautiful stars at night

a single elment bar heater from the 70's is, one inneficient, and the windows and doors had no wind blocking tape, to seal, i had to grab my bedding to stay warm, when it was not even below zero, wifi, only in the communal kitchen, WHY? if everyone has to tether their pc's to their phones then all are loosing in speed, i have paid less for where i am now, than what i had at Makarora (kitchenette, ensuite, an actual bar fridge) a modern motel, not some "A" frame dinosaur that needs a serious upgrade from "it's" 1970's design, having one single AC power outlet. i will not be stopping there again

Had a great stay here for one night, Kiwi hospitality at it's best plus Brazilian flair. I was let in despite turning up before check in time and there was a heater already on in the room. I'll be back!

Located in Makarora, great hiking district, the chalets are clean and comfortable although a little tired

The property was unique in its design (A-frame). Facilities provided were good. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was unusable due to a sewerage block somewhere within. As a result, we did not use the shower or water to drink, wash or clean teeth. We were unable to contact anyone to address the issue, unable to provide direct feedback at checkout about the issue and they did not respond to email correspondence concerning our issues.

ok stay nice and warm

Beautiful place for a family

It was in a great spot our chalet was very roomy but getting a bit rundown, the walks in the bush were easy and quite interesting, overall, we had a great stay. The restaurant was pretty good too!

In a stunning area. Loved our A-frame.

The Wonderland chalets are in beautiful location but dormitories and common facilities are a bit run down. For example, one of the lamps over the bed was broken and in a state of disrepair. The accommodation was serviceable and affordable, but it wouldn't take much to bring accommodations up to a nicer standard. I hope they do, because Wonderland should be a great getaway and gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park.

The chalet fridge was very small. We had to put the freezer pads in the communal kitchen freezer. Past experience in other places means they are easily stolen (and not easy to replace near Makarora.) Otherwise the chalet was clean and comfortable.

There was only wifi in the common areas.

Lovely location, but the huts were tired although very clean. Kingsize bed and 2 singles in the room, but only one chair. No bedside tables to put anything on. Communal kitchen area was tired and dated but useable. Showers were clean, but dated. Restaurant food was good and there was also a small petrol station on site.

The A frame cabins were quaint and comfortable

Shower was a joke hard to regulate the temperature and the pressure was just a dribble

Very dated, very rustic.

Very central. Parking good under hotel. Needs booking Reception staff very good.

Very Kiwi camp loved it

Wonderful stay
