Overall very disappointing. Would NOT recommend unless you are a smoker and know to expect a dilapidated and run down accommodation. Everyone at the camp ground seemed to be a smoker. Upon arrival there were people smoking on the balcony by reception, with all the windows and door open so fresh smoke flowed into the joint reception/kitchen/lounge area. Yum my lungs loved this not. Unfortunately our stay turned even more sour upon entering the building our room was located. We were in a double room in a building with 5 other double rooms, with many occupied by long-term residents. The building stank of cigarette smoke, my partner and I both saw a long-term visitor in the back smoking a cigarette while in his room. This was flowing straight into the hallway and into our own room. Even upon opening the window, smoke then flowed from outside as it appeared everyone at the ground was a smoker. Despite signs saying the accommodation was smoker free, this was clearly not true. We immediately decided to leave due to both having asthma and not being comfortable in this accommodation. The owner also claimed in an email that there are 'only 2 locations to smoke' 'away from rooms' which was clearly not true. Staff were super unhelpful and very defensive, claiming they do not condone smoking. Which was completely BS based on the mustiness of the accommodation and cigarette odour which was clearly from long-term exposure to smokers. The owner then makes claims about their 'cancellations policy' which was not advertised anywhere on their site. They also put it on us for not choosing accommodation that was what we expected, but given it had been illegal to smoke inside in New Zealand for almost 20 years, they clearly don't understand the LAW!! Read the other reviews as well. Other people have also stated people smoke inside rooms and is not at all addressed by the staff.
Cons: The water from the taps tastes like the rain water you get from the mountain huts, or worse. The mattresses sink in the middle. Flies all over the wall in bathrooms. Hot water tank is probably a little too small to accomodate for everyone as I had to have a cold shower. Pros: The atmosphere is pretty chill. The leisure lounge is a nice big space to make some noise. Location is pretty good and far away from any noise. Pillows were great.
We stayed October 2022 To start this isn’t a hostel or a lodge, it’s a campground with some cabins essentially. For the positives: staff were lovely and the location is great and the kitchen/toilets were adequate Negatives: Wifi doesn’t reach outside the house and is limited per day. This place advertises as eco but there’s no recycling at all. Long term guests created an uncomfortable environment. In our room was a man who did nothing but smoke and stare at us. We took every opportunity to not be in there. I slept in my car three out of four nights due to feeling uncomfortable in our room due to smell and excessive snoring. I wouldn’t recommend this place for solo travellers, male or female. I’m giving it two stars as the first night we spent there we were alone in our dorm and felt comfortable as well as the positives above.
Please don’t stay here. It cost more than $70 for two people in a TENT and the facilities were awful. The water tastes like it shouldn’t be drinkable, the facilities are unclean, and they do nothing to keep noise limited as a cabin with long-term campers played music and drank until 4am the night I stayed. Take your business elsewhere, with the kind of money this place costs, you can definitely find somewhere nicer in the area.
Firstly i dont know how this place passed Health & Safety... The room we had the carpet needs to b ripped out Musty wet carpet smell... Cut the trees down remove bushes so sun can get into rooms Kitchen needs to b separate from reception area Big enough section to put a separate kitchen Get rid of alcohol on premises From our room we could hear everything People walking around upstairs, sliding doors opening The manager/owner actually needs to stay at lodge to actually see what goes on around there I wont be going back there again worse place ive stayed in What a waste Get someone who actually knows how to manage a property n puts guests 1st I felt sorry for the other tourists n guests Put some kids playground or something there Internet needs to b unlimited The price some of those short term/long term pay there is ridiculous NOT WORTH IT! Couldnt wait to get out of there Honestly people check this place out before booking
Each to their own definitely not my cup of tea as for the state of the rooms I would rather stay in a camping ground cold damp not very inviting I think given the choice people would rather stay at the braemar the price long-term tenants pay and you're not allowed visitors... All the open ground and not a child's playground insight I just got a couple of tuis to wood pigeons and a giant rat
Staff were very accommodating, didn't realize I booked an entire apartment thought I had booked a room with onsuite so was quite surprised definitely good value for money. Stayed here 6 years ago and was great place to stay then tooRooms: 5/5
Lovely manager, beautiful grounds. Could do with some solar lights for safety around lower toilet blocks and cabins.Rooms: 3/5
The room were cold and the shower don't have looks on the bedroom doors. They also never refunded us as the second night someone started having a shower at midnight.when we wanted our last 2 nights refunded, she never answered her calls and gave me ā false email to get our 2 nights refunded back. Very dirty in the bathroom as well. I don't recommend this place at all. Poor service and poor establishment.
Good basic accommodation. What was great though was the lady running the place. She was very accommodating, even though I was arriving late and leaving early. She even upgraded my room! The bed was comfy & warm and the shower hot!
