NIce Unit, wonderful thirsty towels, clean and good bed.
Heatpump not serviced so didn’t heat well until my husband cleaned the filters No service of our unit on the second day - no rubbish removed which we though was disappointing Cutlery missing - we cooked food but 2 knives, and only one fork
Great location and very comfortable room.
Nothing
It was clean, tidy and comfortable. Had everything you need for a short stay.
Everything especially self check in
Great stay. A couple of small maintenance issues need addressing
Lighting next to beds not good for reading
Good location close to cafe and supermarket.
Big room, very clean. Warm on a cold winters night.
It was lovely clean tidy and comfortable
No hot water in the morning
The unit we had was spacious, clean, warm and relatively quiet, so was perfect for an overnight road trip stay.
Very clean. Friendly staff member.
Very clean and tidy.
The heat pump outside the bedroom was noisey.
We didn’t use any of the facilities outside of our room as we were only there for one night, but we were very happy with the spotless, well equipped, spacious room. It was very warm and comfy and had everything we needed. Easy check in and comfy bed and pillows. Very friendly staff.
Loved the cafetiere for coffee, would have loved a small bottle of fresh milk. Thank you
Needed more cutlery
The room was clean and comfortable but no hangers?
Room names instead of numbers and the check in note did not have a graphic as to which room was the room we booked. I guess the parking was on a first come first serve basis as there were no clear marks.
Great spot in Ranfurly, clean spacious room, comfy bed, good shower and excellent kitchen facilities. Very friendly host. We drove up to Naseby for dinner at the Royal Hotel (highly recommended!) and had a great overnight stay at Hawkdun Lodge. Great value for money!
N/A
Everything was arranged for our arrival even though the staff weren’t there. Room was clean, tidy and warm. 2 minute walk to supermarket and pub. Will sty again.
Lovely overnight stay.warm room tv went and just a comfy stay. Staff great. Town very tiny and pub not worth the food. You’re probably better to go to next town if needing food or just take a takeaway to re heat.
Common room greatfor our party
The deluxe room was very nice and roomy. We enjoyed our short stay. Once we arrived there was a note on the office telling us what room we were in and that the key was inside the room.
We saw no staff from the time we arrived as the office was closed and the same in the morning. When we left in the morning there was still no one in the office so we left the key in the door.
Easily reached off the rail trail and close enough to town to walk in and get food
Nobody to check is in- but they did leave instructions. The space is very simple and a very tiny kitchenette.
High quality room, linen, towels and beds.
I had booked a room with the options double bed or twin bed. I asked for a twin bed and that was confirmed by the hotel through booking.com. Upon arrival, I got a room with a double bed and asked for the booked twin bed room. Then I was charged 40 NZ$ on top of what I already paid to get the twin bed. They argued it was the fault of booking.com, but I do not agree. Also, I did not like that. .
Lovely newish condo style motel units with cooking facilities and very comfortable beds. Very close to the Otago rail trail.
Very clean, nice layout. Everything covered. Very comfortable.
Central and easy to find. Plenty of outside parking. Front office not open very often and phone calls go to voicemail.. difficult when you have questions.
Can be a little noisy from other guests entering / leaving and talking in car parking area outside windows. Property decor a little dated but made up by friendly staff and cleanliness.
Location was great Room clean and smelt great Beds very comfortable Will be back🤩
Room not serviced but not sure if they gave that service either!
Spacious, clean and comfortable room. The bed was incredibly comfortable!
Handy location, easy checking, friendly staff.
Exceptionally quiet, roomy,comfy bed & 2 single lounge chairs to watch TV
Great motel - very comfortable beds and pillows, great kitchen facilities and very clean. Highly recommend!
Clean handy location friendly staff
We had a lovely room, the main kitchen was avaliable for us to use & very well equipped. Everywhere was exceptionally clean, the owner originated from Buxton & with us being from Sheffield we had a great chat.
We needed a rest from our busy site seeing tour of NZ & found nothing to dislike here, it might be a bit quiet for some but for us it was perfect, just what we needed.
Very quiet, proximity to town, comfortable and clean. Met our needs.
Television reception and connection to channels poor. Lighting in room was very dull.
Really nice large room. Very comfortable
Couldn't find a guest laundry option.
Apartment was well equipped and central to everything we needed.
.
They said there was electric blankets on all beds but there was not on my bed
That the unit was close to everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. Very clean and tidy.
The shower door had dropped and needed fixing. The pressure was ok but could do with a bit of a upgrade with the shower slider and head. The parking was pretty tight but in fairness we had a van so had to use the disabled.
Nice and comfortable and staff a management very friendly and helpfull
Nothing
Really nice and clean.
I usually judge a motel by its shower. Modern, good consistent water supply, and new fluffy towels. Yes Hawkdun exceeded my expectations.
The Hawkdun room is lovely. Lots of facilities and ideal for cooking. A real asset.
We have stayed before and will stay again
Lovely unit and very comfortable bed.
Absolutely great stay but found office unmanned most of time - numbers on door to contact - sent text and got no response. It would be nice if hosts were more responsive. I found the same issue when initially enquiring about this booking. Other than that lovely and friendly.
Clean, good value, quiet.
$25 breakfast was a little too expensive for what you got. For that price you could have a full English in town. Maybe add some cold meats and cheese to better justify it. Otherwise it would have been a 10.
Facility was handy to township and walking along the rail trail. Very - quite location. Overall street appearance very good and the interior of our two units in a small rural community exceeded our expectations.
We were more than happy with the overall experience.
Kitchen was closed, TV setup needs to be sorted,milk was off but got sorted parking was not outside room
Alles was netjes. fijne schuur voor de fietsen
?
Clean and tidy. Good shower. Comfortable sofa and chairs.
Very little cooking equipment. In NZ you expect to be able to cook in a Motel. TV didn't work.
Very spacious and clean. Bed was very comfortable.
It would have been helpful if the motel provided information on its facilities in the unit i.e. a compendium. It’s a shame the kitchen isn’t equipped for cooking as it is such a spacious kitchen and the ability to prepare meals in the unit, rather than in a shared communal space, would have made it an exceptional place to stay.
Everything! It’s a great place and we can’t wait to come back!
Very comfortable room, easy parking right outside the door, excellent location with an easy stroll into the centre of Ranfurly (very small!), a remarkable common room available for groups - my second stay since 2023 and it was every bit as good as the last time. And it is such a good-looking building!!
Only one coat hanger in my room and the only milk provided were just tiny sachets. BYO if you travel with your own breakfast cereal!
Modern, clean and warm and cozy
Very friendly reception. Unit large and very clean. Heatpump effective. Met all our requirements. The large communal lounge, kitchen dining area was excellent. Large fridge/freezer also available for guests.
A fan heater in bathroom would have been more effective for heating the bathroom. No issues
Ideal for our stay, bed very comfortable, heating good, clean. Great place to stay.
Space, facilities, comfortable bed.
Shower floor slippery
Lovely lady managing, made our stay very welcoming
TV had continuous reception outages so couldnt watch anything.
TV had reception issues so could not use
