Lantern Court Motel

Amazingly delightful place resurrected with the gold price. Terrific little spot. Go there!

Great location and friendly service.

Really enjoyed our stay. Fantastic motel, lots of character & a wonderful welcome. Lots to see in this lovely town!

It was just what we needed for a night. Host extremely helpful with where to go for dinner and what to see around town

The property was great for 2 bedrooms and great location. The hosts were lovely and helpful. The only note I would make is that we were informed by a cafe that you shouldn't drink the water accoriding to notices frim the council. We were not informed by the motel and there were no signs in the room or by the taps. The manager said they had a sign on the counter which was noy pointed out and that they drank the water? I would suggest you dont drink the water if youre staying there

View great. Couldnt use tv due to extremely low volume

Lovely stay at this beautiful spot, friendly welcome and great local knowledge, will stay again.

Very friendly staff, and excellent location. The milk and tea were a nice touch

very well placed to town and good parking for car and bikes

A place with character, good value for money. The town is very small but does have 2 supermarkets!

Very central, clean and tidy, Very welcoming hostess

Lovely motel, easy walk to town, restaurants, with supermarket just across the road. Very quiet. Parking a bit tight but easy to park on the road.

Fabulous stay , had a great time Hosts very friendly and approachable, happy to answer any questions and give information on what to see and do in Westport

Great weekend away. Good sized room with spa bath. Nice place to sit outside. Friendly staff.

We had a great room with an alcove to sit in. Plenty of room.

Has everything including SKY, free WIFI,electric blankets plus very clean and quiet.

Very comfortable and clean unit centrally located in this quaint town. Well equipped surprisingly new motel.

Enjoyed the spa bath.Comfortable bed. That.s enough

Booking in was easy and friendly. The room was spacious, well equipped and clean with a very comfy bed.

The position was ideal. The room was clean hosts friendly. The shower impossible to regulate

great rooms. very easy stay. rebooked the rooms already. thank you

The best motel booking we could have made. Highest standard in every way. Warmly welcomed, beautiful room, immaculate and spotless.

Good size unit and in town. Would be improved by having an electric fan and nets on the French windows that open out onto the street.

We loved our stay, the location was perfect - in the heart of this small town. It was impeccably neat, and we especially loved the balcony with a view out to the main street, and the very cool cubicle style beds in the lounge.

Great reception from owners. Felt comfortable from the first minute of arrival.

Very nice lovely motel manager. Nice friendly town. Good place to stop over. Cool river walk where the first power station in the country was.

Receptionist/owner was kind enough to let us check in quite early which we appreciated very much! She was helpful in pointing out a nice walk and mentioned a few good places to eat. Our room was ok. Nothing fancy but we took advantage of dining in since the kitchenette was well equipped. There was no a/c so we left windows open for a breeze. Problem was bugs entered during the night. Also, we could not regulate hot or cold water. It was either scalding or freezing. Operator error on our part? Good enough for a quick overnight to split up the only way to get from Christchurch to Picton due to road closure.

Check in was easy and the lady was lovely. A really nice size room which had doors out onto a balcony It was very clean tidy and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. On the corner of the Main Street and close to 2 supermarkets. I would definitely recommend.

Nice clean room. Large bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Reefton is an interesting town. But this hotel was priced about 15% higher than most comparable places that we stayed during 40 days in NZ. Neither the location nor the facility justify the additional cost.

Updated modern units that blend in with the character of the old hotel.

Excellent room with all facilities. Bed very comfy. Room clean and fresh. Very quiet making for a great night's sleep. Staff very friendly and helpful with what you can do around the area.

Staff were very friendly, room was spacious, older style. It had a uniqueness about it. Very comfortable. Bathroom was new. Would have liked to stay longer to be able to sit on the balcony and relax. Felt like we were back in time but in a really nice way. Very relaxing away from the fast life in the big cities.

Very pleasant and friendly staff. Very well set up unit. We'll be back I'm sure.

This was a nice stay between Christchurch and Picton. The receptionist was very pleasant, giving us information for a nice hike around the city. We had a room with a balcony. Two,supermarkets within a five minute walk. Lighting in the room could be better.

Great valueGreat value, great staff, great motel. Good location good staff

Character motel with great historic interest

Awesome place

Very comfortable. The room had a veranda so we could sit and watch the world go by.

even though it was a one night stay. it was great the room was huge & clean. If I could rent this room out as flat I would. The manager was great she waited for us (late check in). We were supposed to leave early the next morning but stayed until we had to check out at 10am that is how comfortable the place was...

It was raining when we got there and thunder storm all night so didn't really get to see the town. Managed to go for a quick wander in the rain and I'd definitely come back here. Historical town with abandoned buildings in the surrounding area and in a beautiful location. The lady at the motel was wonderful. She was so hospitable and just lovely and welcoming. The room was way more than expected I thought just a bed and bathroom but it's the whole package. Lounge, kitchen and bathroom. My daughter even got her own bedroom. I'd come back here again!

Overall very enjoyable within the confines of a very small town. We were in one of the older chalets, and the bathroom needs updating. Owner very helpful and only too pleased to help.

Loved the old character. And everything you need is right at your door

Great place, super friendly host and hostess, very good restaurant nearby. HUGE family room with giant, wrap around porch. Highly recommended.

From the wonderful staff, the cleanliness of the room and the comfort of our stay, everything was great!

I enjoyed a one night stay at the Lantern Court Motel. On arrival I was upgraded to a larger suite because the small studio I'd booked was having its carpets cleaned. The friendly manageress was most helpful offering advice on local places of interest. I enjoyed the spaciousness of the larger studio and if visiting again would consider paying extra for the same. The riverside walk with various points of historic interest was a good way to unwind after a long drive. One of the local cafe/restaurants makes great take out pizzas which I sampled. I was able to take advantage of the well stocked local store which was open until 7pm.

A super very clean Motel, & the owners are lovely lovely friendly folk, true dinky di local Reefton people, just how Coasters are... Wish we had allowed more time to be in & around Reefton, ran out of time to do lots more sight seeing, darn it....

Business trip. Excellent service and a room upgrade. Always have excellent service here. They have very comfortable 2 star units as well as the 4+ star ones.

Great location in the centre of Reefton with a very friendly and helpful manager. We upgraded from our booking due to the significant difference between the room we booked and the better room. The room was good but the motel on the whole was not in great condition as it was being worked on - the entrance was blocked by scaffolding, workmen were loud and seemed to start before 8am, the cold tap in the bathroom needed tightening and a painter knocked on the door at 9.15 to see if he could touch up some paint. So while the room was on the way to being very comfortable, it was still being finished. We also killed a largish Whitetail Spider, which may have come in with a previous tenant or may have been a local, but in any case, treating the room for insects might be a good idea. We had trouble with the wifi, which may have been related to earlier lightening strikes, and the manager was very helpful in sorting out a work-around. After we checked out, we took a nice walk (suggested by the manager) on a loop past the old power station and through town. It was a nice stay and once the work is complete, I'm sure it will be very comfortable.

One night stand after a long day's travel ! Upgraded to a 2 b/room unit. (eliminated the indescribable noise from sleeping brother !!) Very comfortable. A return visit and will stay again.
