Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Location is good.
The pictures online were from the hotel behind the old hotel. I was given an old hotel room. Which I guess is fine, but it was right next to the restaurant. So we heard conversations through the shared wall all day/night long. Then at late night the bar music was turned up loud, and people were talking over it, we luckily had earplugs to wear, but I don’t think we should have to wear earplugs when we’re on holiday at a hotel.
The location is amazing! Great views of the lake from the family room. The rooms were small but comfortable.
There could be a better way to help tourists use the laundry services. It is coin operated, while I hardly believe any tourist carries coins. They had no clear explanation on how to get coins and weren’t willing to charge it to my card while giving us the coins to use.
Super friendly, great people and food. Had an amazing stay in a quaint authentic West Coast hotel. Great bar drinks.
Rooms aren't very sound proof had some noisy neighbors. Only 1 shower.
Really peaceful. Close to the lake and staff and owners were super helpful.
Nice and close to the pub for a nice drink and meal
There was no power point in the bathroom
Beautiful location. Good was wonderful.
I think some information in the room would be helpful about walks things to do. Where the shop is etc. also a warning about what I take was the fire siren at 1244 am. We had no idea whether or not it was something we needed to be concerned about or not. A bit frightening. Better directions to our room. It was raining when we arrived and didn’t realise that the acccommodation was up the back drive. These are only meant as helpful suggestions as it was a really nice stay.
Great rooms and levels as an apartment. Exceeding my expectation for the apartment for the prices. Loved our stay
The staff were very helpful and friendly, the view from our room was gorgeous and the hotel and dining room were very cosy and comfortable on a cold night. We really enjoyed our 2 nights in Moana, and recommend doing the walk along the lake through the forest.
Warm and cosy
Incredible view of lake, friendly welcoming relaxed atmosphere and staff.
La couverture chauffante, car le chauffage marchait plus ou moins bien et gardait la chambre très froide. Le déjeuner continental était bien et apprécié. Très beau lever de soleil sur le lac le matin.
Les toilettes dans notre chambre étaient très vieilles, la ventilation refroidissait encore plus la pièce et la douche aurait eu besoin d’un très bon scrub. La chambre était mal insonorisée.
Food and service was really good
Shower and bathroom need an update
Large panoramic view of lake,full ground to ceiling front window.Room
No concerns.
The beds were comfortable.
The bathroom is very run down. The room was quite cold when we arrived and took a long time to warm up. Some kitchen equipment such as a sharp knife and chopping board were missing.
Great view of the lake from the uni.
Very clean rooms. Great housekeeping. Good food, extensive menu.
We didn’t know in advance that there was no cooked breakfast until 11am. So we missed what looked like some great choices.
Great location with beautiful views. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was really good.
The bed wasn't the most comfortable too hard and pillows were very soft
This was my first visit to Lake Brunner. Despite the weather at the time I found the hotel very warm and hospitable. The staff and service was great, the food was exceptional during my time there. I had the mass breakfast one morning which was awesome beside the coal fire.. The hotel was very clean, the bed was very comfortable. I thought that the overall experience was awesome and I will definitely be back, I have no negative comments Thank you to the team, both at reception, bar and service staff who delivered excellent service to my table.
I thought that the experience there was great and I have no negative comments to make
Overlooking the lake and staying in the main hotel with everyting we needdd
Kingfisher menu was great but it would be a good choice of eggs,bacon,beans,sausages and toast. The breakfast was affordable they could easily add more and increase the price accordingly
View of Lake.
Some of the room fittings needed maintenance. Heater in bathroom fused.
The location of our room looking out over the lake was breathtaking 😍
We knew it was an older property so didn't expect 5 star luxury. However a shelf in the bathroom, some liquid soap and shower gel would be nice. The shower cubicle was very small, my 6'2" husband struggled!
Had everything we needed. Nice strong shower. Comfy bed and lovely view. Meal in the hotel was nice and bar staff very nice, friendly and helpful.
There was a heater in the room.
The bathrooms were with the toilet and shower at the same time and they were not a lot so if anybody needed to go to the toilet, they had to wait until somebody else was finishing shower and it was very cold in the in the shower area and in the kitchen. And the fact that the Hot pools had to be paid was something that I wasn’t expecting I thought it was included in for free.
Bed
Bath and toilet Toilet seat was broken
Location
Noisy
The room was good and the location overlooked the lake. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was included
Nothing
Superb view over the lake. Really comfortable bed. Staff were very helpful.
Fantastic location! Staff were amazing and the meals were great value Definitely coming back!!
The big rooms. Very spacious.
The bed was extremely soft. It felt like we were sleeping on a water bed while trying not to be swallowed up by it
Location, studio room, food.
Under staffed for a known busy period
Great hotel with loads of history. Wood fire in the dining room to keep us warm. Great outlook over Lake Brunner. Excellent value for money.
Good location with a beautiful view. Comfy beds, warm and cosy room. Good facilities in hotel.
Our room was beside the kitchen for the bunk rooms and was noisy until 1am when I had to put earplugs in. Possibly a staff bunkroom? The bathroom was very small, could hardly move in the shower stall and handbowl teeny tiny.
Historical location with exceptional views of the lake. Great staff.
good staff,helpful, asking us what and were we went for the day, even remembered our drinks
nothing
The property was incredible! We had a one night stay from our Tranzalpine journey from Christchurch to Greymouth and it was the perfect little relaxation spot! The apartment was stunning, 2 floors with a beautiful view of the lake! The owner of Hotel Lake Brunner was lovely and very welcoming :) we were also very lucky to have an incredible view of the stars and Milky Way from our balcony!
Absolutely nothing we didn’t like! If I could request one thing it would be sun loungers in the balcony so we could just stare up at the stars for longer!
Amazing stepping back in time with beautiful rooms and good food to relax with the kids
Nothing! Great value for money especially with a family
didnt stay because what we booked was not were we were placed within accommodation & they were fully booked out, fortunately we were able to get our $ refunded.
So spacious, a fantastic view of the lake, restaurant/ pub on site
NA
The location and view from balcony was amazing
Shower was tight for a 6ft man. Couldn't wash my feet without hitting my head
Proper Kiwi pub
Affordable stay, conveniently located. Opted for the shared bathroom option. There was an ease of check-in/check-out and plenty of parking, the location is quite central, and good value for money relative to alternatives
If I stayed again, I would opt for a room with a private bathroom. However, for the price, the shared bathroom was acceptable. The proximity to the pub did make it quite noisy at night, and the wifi was a bit slow.
Nice accomdation, in a great location, with awesome views. Great pub in front of hotel.
The unit was clean and comfortable but could do with some maintenance. The food at the pub infront was really good apart from the Chinese banquet on Sunday. We were the one of the first people to the Chinese banquet but found the food was quite cold. I let the service team know that the food we had was cold but the man in charge disagreed, didn't apologise or offer any alternative.
Clean neat great views
Quiet and easy access to room. comfortable bed.
Shared shower room with basin for toilets or you had to return to your room to wash your hands.
Great location and facilities
Great location
Was quite hot at night, and there was no aircon.
Very nice spacious and clean room
No airconditioning
The staff were helpful, the food was great, and the lake view so beautiful
Originally I made a mistake and booked a room with shared bathroom facilities ( very reasonable price) but I could upgrade

Nothing
close to lake
very small shower perhaps some renovation outside
Good food lovely location and staff friendly
The view is amazing
The rooms needed some TLC
The view was nice
The room overall was nice, but the bathroom was disgusting. Mold in the bathroom was terrible not to mention all the hair / pubes in the bathroom shower and on the floor. We did complain and a lovely lady came back to clean it but when you are paying so much per night i would expect the room to be perfect and spotless!!!!! For paying over $400 per night it definitely was not worth that. Terrible and would not stay here again
Great view
We were put in the hostel part of the hotel which we had no idea at the time of booking. Toilet seat was broken. Couldn’t turn around in the shower it was so small. There is only one place to eat and we had lunch and dinner there. Both meals were less than average and the cost did not reflect the poor quality of food.
very comfy, rooms were spacious!
Only one shower for the rooms without bathrooms
location was perfect for our purpose the view from the room was excellent
we had to use single bed as double was too soft for wife
Excellent location, spacious room, 5 minutes walk to lake, nice surroundings, Moana train station is under 10 minutes walk.
ordinary breakfast but the lady at the counter was very courteous to provide me breakfast after it was finished.
