Westholm Lodge

Homey, upscale, beautifully designed, and comfortable with a very friendly host. Loved the communal dining table where we could meet other guests over a very nice homemade dinner and breakfast.

Nothing.

Plenty of space, clean, owner was there to greet us and make us welcome. Home cooked bread and cake - continental breakfast was excellent

All good

A beautiful location on the West Coast, South Island, NZ, and a lovely soacious lodge surrounded by greenery. Much hospitality received from our host Stacey, who prepared a delicious breakfast for us with homemade specialties. We highly recommend this lodge, and would love to stay again.

No negatives.

Stacey was very welcoming and helpful, and the accommodation was immaculate and restful.

Breakfast was lovely. Plenty of choices. Home made baked goods were delicious 😋

Was so lovely to meet Stacey and her family. She was very welcoming and friendly and cooked us a great breakfast. Thanks so much for having us Stacey!

Amazing friendly and helpful host

It was hot in the room and not all the windows had screens to protect from sandflies

Lovely property with excellent quality rooms. Very good breakfast and close to the fabulous Hari Hari coastal track.

Our host, Stacey, was very welcoming and offered us dinner and accommodated our time frame.

Nothing!

Stacey could not have been more helpful and welcoming. We really enjoyed our quick stay and the breakfast was a stand out.

Great feel, owner Stacey was a wonderful host.

Relaxed and comfortable ambience with friendly host Stacey. Very, very clean. Exceptionally spacious. 3 cats and a Jack Russell who were friendly if you wanted to be friends with them. The homemade lemon and blueberry cake at breakfast is delicious! One evening option is a shared platter with New Zealand champagne. We had ours on the balcony in the sun and it was exceptional.

Nearby attractions are limited although there are enough to keep you busy for a couple of days.

Nous avons tout aimé. Stacey est adorable et nous nous sommes vraiment sentis chez nous. Nous avions pris le plateau de fromage le soir, et le petit déjeuner le lendemain. C’était juste parfait. La chambre était spacieuse, hyper propre, décorée avec beaucoup de charme. Vraiment à recommander.

Die Lodge war klein und privat. Die Zimmer waren sehr großzügig und komfortabel. Die Betten waren bequem, wir hatten ein großes Bad. Es gab Tiere. Das hat unserem Kind sehr gut gefallen. Stacy ist ein eine wundervolle Gastgeberin. Sie serviert ein tolles selbst gemachtes Dinner und Frühstück. Ich hatte das Gefühl eine Freundin zu besuchen. Es fühlte sich sehr heimisch an.

Sehr schöne Lodge, gute Ausstattung, sauber und die Gastgeberin Stacey war sehr nett, top 👍

Great location to vist Glaciers.

Stacey is very friendly and very accommodating to her guests. Breakfast and evening meals were great and the area is so peaceful and set in beautiful grounds.

Beautiful property. Friendly, welcoming host. Brilliant breakfast - the choices and quality were superb. Comfortable beds. I recommend the lodge to all travellers

Beautiful and comfortable

Nothing to dislike

Supersköna sängar, fantastiska rum och trädgård. Mycket trevlig värdinna.

Saknaden av utbud på restauranger...fanns bara ett hak i hela byn...

Breakfast was amazing! Homemade from the host. The lodge was in a quiet and beautiful town tucked away on the west coast. So relaxing!

Truly hard to say if there was anything negative. The building is a bit of a "rustic" lodge, so it may be missing some modern amenities, however that is part of what makes it great!

Lovely place to stay! Love the cosy comfy vibes with some garden views! Stacey the host was very helpful with showing us around and settling us in! Breakfast was delicious with a lovely homemade touch!

Es war alles wunderbar! Ein sehr schönes Anwesen, alles ist äußerst liebevoll und stilvoll eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl und herzlich willkommen. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und stets darauf bedacht, dass man sich wohlfühlt. Wir haben das Abendessen gebucht – es war hervorragend! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können uns nur herzlich bedanken.

Es war alles super.

Host, colazione, camera

Materasso matrimoniale troppo morbido

Great spot just on the edge of town, lovely garden, plenty of parking, comfortable room and great home cooked food. The lounge with log burner is a great place to relax, chat and tickle Brody, if he’s taking meetings!

We liked everything. Even the cockerel was quiet in the morning!

Breakfast was tasty and satisfying. Stacy was the perfect host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nothing. Everything was great.

Conveniently located with great walking trails around

I really enjoyed my stay at this property! The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with comfortable bedding and great amenities.

The beautiful guest house was perfect for our stay. The food, room and location were all perfect for us.

Nothing

We were delighted with our stay. Everything was great.

This far and away the best of the fourteen properties we stayed at on our trip. The room was comfortable and Stacey was an excellent host, preparing a good breakfast and an even better evening meal - which was a good choice as the Lodge is in a rural area.

Friendly host, great breakfasts, best bed of our trip and a fabulous garden.

The host Stacey was very nice, and the apartment was a little piece of paradise. The lodge is loacted in a very quiet area with a great garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this familiar surroundings.

Nothing to complain :)

Very comfy bed. Great breakfast. Stacy was very friendly and helpful. House was very warming

The two-BR layout more suitable for a family with children rather than two couples

Excelent! Very clean and tidy ! Loved it!

Very nice place, clean and paceful. It is an oasis in the middle of nowhere.

The price-quality relationship of the not included dinner is quite dissapointing. The dinner, as it is publisht in the web of the lodge is 45$ for each single course. The food was good, self coocked by the owner but it doesn't worth the price it cost. It is the only thing I would recommend to change.

Beautiful gardens, the scenery and a charming host.

All good for me!

Lovely friendly hosts ... even their teen son :-) Quiet, clean, and very comfy. Breakfast was well worth lingering for. The young ones loved being able to take their morning run along the coastal trail.

No dislikes

Everything. Ver nice host, great breakfast, interesting other guests - just what you expect from a B&B!

Nothing.

Felt like a home.

Beautiful B&B with a garden and some farm animals to enjoy. Our room was very spacious with an awesome view over the backyard and beyond. The host was incredibly kind and served up an awesome breakfast. We also felt safe enough to leave our bikes out on the back porch.

Super host.

Clean - comfy - spacious Lovely Garden Stacey was very friendly and helpful Home cooked food - delicious

Great place with lovely host

Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful gardens. Very friendly host.

Nothing. The only thing that would have improved it would have been to have facilities to make tea/coffee.

Wonderful garden.

Dinner was overpriced for what was on offer. Our burgers were fine but the vegetables curry were a disgrace, watery, lukewarm and with only a few pieces of vegetables in it, definitely not worth $45. Room was hot and not ventilated before our arrival. Location not great as right next to highway and noise from trucks and traffic starting early in the morning.

Good location to break up west coast drive. Spacious and very comfortable room with tea/coffee available. Lovely home and garden and Stacey provided us with dinner (pre order and extra charge) which was delicious and good value.

Nothing

Very comfortable and spacious. A beautiful garden too.

Liked everything from the food, rooms, hospitality, etc

Amazing property, clean, great food, and lovely hosts.

Wonderful host, made us feel very welcome. We had a lovely suite, with a sitting room, bedroom and large bathroom. The lodge was beautifully decorated and had a lovely outdoor area. Very good breakfast was included. Would highly recommend.

It was a warm day and room was stuffy. There was no air conditioning, and no screens in windows or door.

Beautiful location and lodge, very comfortable, spacious room. Food was excellent, all homemade and natural. Property owners were warm and welcoming.

No elevator to get luggage to second floor, could be an issue for some.

Gorgeous and spacious rooms with the comfiest bed, and stunning bathroom. Our host Stacey was lovely and accommodating, and the included continental breakfast was delicious. The farm the property is located on is beautiful, with a pond, veggie garden and some very friendly pets!

While helicopters and airplanes offer incredible views of the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers, they don’t lend themselves to a relaxing afternoon or evening. To enjoy some tranquility, we chose the charming town of Harihari as our base for two nights. Nestled on the edge of a scenic reserve and roughly halfway between the glaciers and Hokitika Gorge, it was an ideal location. The Westholm Lodge exceeded our expectations. This quiet, warm, and comfortable retreat is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, providing a serene escape from the tourist crowds. Our room was spacious and thoughtfully designed, featuring a wonderfully comfortable bed and what might be the best bathroom and shower in all of New Zealand—luxurious and inviting. Breakfast at the lodge was a delight. The continental spread included Stacey's homemade yogurt, made with fresh milk from a local dairy, along with freshly baked pastries and bread that were both fragrant and delicious. It was clear everything was prepared with care and love. For travelers who might be too tired after a day of hiking, biking, or driving, Stacey offers the option of a homemade dinner with a day’s advance notice for a small additional fee. We were fortunate to enjoy her lasagna and venison pie, both of which were absolutely delicious. Wine and beer are also available, adding a lovely touch to the meal. Stacey's hospitality shone in her thoughtful recommendations for local activities. She suggested places to visit near the glaciers and Hokitika Gorge and even told us about a nearby glow worm walk in Harihari—a magical and unexpected highlight of our trip. One of the joys of staying at Westholm Lodge was meeting fellow travelers. During our stay, we chatted with friendly bicyclists from England and a retired couple from Vienna, Austria. These connections added a personal and memorable dimension to our experience.

Breakfast was amazing, with fresh homemade yogurt and loaf cake. Plenty to choose from.

Can’t fault the venue.

Breakfast: Delicious home baking, own eggs, own yoghurt, home-made bread.

Breakfast was great - both the extra (for pay) hot options and the continental included options.

Excellent across the board

Host was terrific and the facilities were excellent. Had the most wonderful homemade yoghurt for breakfast which was exceptional. Highly recommend a stay here. We were booked to visit the Kotuku which is an easy half hour drive away.

Excellent choice of breakfast items, many of them home made or freshly baked. The garden was a joy to walk round. Stacey told us of many local places to visit and her experience of living in Hari Hari. The king size bed was extremely comfy.

Stacy is an amazing hostess

Lovely rural farming location. Peaceful yet welcoming and comfortable

Nothing really

Super friendly host, spacious, and clean rooms. The breakfast was amazing with homemade bread and fresh fruits and eggs!

Amazing host, who cooked delicious cake for our son's birthday and made our stay very special

Great vibe, beautiful garden, lovely rooms and delicious breakfast!

Stacey was delightful, her home made breakfast food was incredible. Next time ill order dinner. The room was extremely comfortable and the finishing touches were perfect.

The garden and the rooster

Super friendly host, great facility, delicious breakfast, beautiful garden

Incredibly warm welcome, we felt right at home! Absolutely loved the cosy place and lovely hosts we met there! Clean and well appointed room, nice shower and truly fantastic homemade breakfast! Would book again in a heartbeat.

Greeted by Stacey when we arrived. From there it was just luxurious and exceptional property. The house was homely and the interior design was perfect. We loved everything about our stay. Thank you ! Kim and paul

Loved our stay, our room was perfect, bed was comfy, good shower and bonus spa bath which we really enjoyed. Beautiful gardens to sit in and walk around. Breakfast was tasty with an assortment of foods. Thanks Stacey for your warm welcome.

Nothing

A well presented b&b, with well prepared and clean two bedroom accommodation. A very pleasant living room with an inviting wood fireplace. The dining room was furnished with period furniture. The evening meal provided was well received, as was breakfast with many items home made. The surrounding gardens were very pleasant to wander through.

The bathroom being only accessible through the master bedroom was a little awkward at night.

Stacy is a great host, polite and informative. Comfy rooms with great decor. The Spa bath was great after a day of traveling. The charcuterie board and bottle of chardonnay was a great way to end the day!
