High Country Motel and Backpackers

Rubbish under the bed and shower not clean but location handy to town.

Great value for money and close to plenty of restaurants and local shops.

Reception staff was helpful and location is convenient for walking to businesses in town. Room was dated, beds were clean but kitchen pans and dishes were filthy and left an overall feeling of lack of care.

Loved staying here on our way to Invercargill - tried to book again a few days later but no vacancies It was a lovely cabin, spacious, comfortable, quiet with noise curfew, easy parking, close drive to the township but you could walk off energetic The reception was so welcoming for a one night stay

For the price it was of a very poor standard with very poor and very limited facilities and an extremely small unit. The ensuite did not have have a basin and there was not enough room for our baggage(2 medium sized suitcases). We stay in motels between 50 & 100 nights a year & this was the worst we've had the misfortune to stay in.

Great

Great

The place is fairly basic but clean, tidy and comfortable. WIFI was good. The fridge did freeze everything overnight though which was a little annoying as we didn’t change any settings. Otherwise good and close to the pub.

Very quiet and very accessible

The accommodation is sort of ok, what you expect. We had a terrible stay, due to a guest next door left on his tv all night, no stop since we checked in till we checked out, not one minute break. In the evening it was movies, very loud, during the night it was music, very loud. paper thin walls, you could hear every beat. I had to move to an other bed further away from that wall, but still... did not sleep all night. Ear plugs, etc, not much use. The problem was there is no reception after hours, and we were afraid to bang on the wall, not knowing what kind of 'guests' are in the other room. We were afraid they would damage the car or such. This kind of disturbance on this level never happened to me, (flew 11 million kms, 120+ countries), but in a case like this you would normally call reception. We were just unlucky. You pay a fortune to come all the way to see Mt Cook, and you cannot sleep the night before.

I like the service given by staff.easy access for shooing

Very clean, great staff, close to town

Weather was fantastic, locals very friendly, night was great

Good value for price paid. Comfortable rooms. Communal ablutions clean. Perhaps some milk in the fridge to go with coffee sachets?

The motel was convient to many places within walking distance. It was not sound insulated so it was a bit noisy. Felt a little cramped for space. The front desk hours were sporadic. We used the laundry but it was just one washer/dryer for a large number of potential residents.

Dated & not particularly attractive. Despite that, had a comfortable night

The room was satisfactory with good access to Mount Cook, Lake Pukaki and surrounding areas. Nice pub nearby

Plenty of room and everything you need in the unit and park. Shops next door, easy accessible parking and quiet location. Not fancy but great value for money

This motel is quite old, basic facility is there. They have daily room servicing but no standard procedure, like milk was given only once, partially tidy up stuff, curtain was opened without any privacy concept. Location is ok, Four Square is just opposite with various restaurants in walking distance. Parking is ok too. It is a bit pricy at this quality.

I liked the price per night at this motel and it wasn't far from Mt Cook NP and some nice lakes. There are restaurants and grocery stores a short walk away.
