We didn’t go into the town of Haast, but were just outside, on the road to Jackson Bay. After the crowds and bustle of other towns, Haast Beach was a welcome change. If you like expansive, empty beaches, with great walkability and rock collecting, this is the experience for you.

A lovely small town on the edge of the Mt Aspiring National Park that was a great gateway to all this area has to offer for walking, biking and just enjoying the scenery. Good choices for restaurants, close to a beach and a very neat inviting town.

Not many tourists stop here.
Not many tourists stop here. The Visitors Centre is amazing with a brilliant interpretative display. The drive to Jackson Bay is well worth making the time for to explore the wild Southland areas. Highly recommend the Heartland Hotel for dinner.

Great value for money, great room and very good wifi.
Great value for money, great room and very good wifi. Restaurant on-site excellent. But no kitchen in room, no toaster, no fridge in room (shared fridge in hallway), makes it difficult to have breakfast in your room.

It was a great base to check out South Westland from.
It was a great base to check out South Westland from. We found lots more walks we could have done if we had more days there. Great drive up to Franz Josef and back in a day. The history and geography are amazing. Stunning scenery.

Some really good coastal walks set up by DOC.
Some really good coastal walks set up by DOC. Some great board walks and coastal walks of various lengths. Peaceful area with most tourists not taking advantage of the walks and stopping in car parks for a quick look only. Warning: don't go off road near beachs. We towed someone out of the sand!

We stayed 1 night enroute West Coast travel. The Motel is right on the Beach highway. It has full cooking facilities. There is not much close by but we walked to the beach in 5 minutes. Nice view at sunset. Car is parked right at the door therefore very convenient. Staff helpful, gave us good information (e mail.messaging) prior to arrival.

The motel is an ideal place to break your journey between the fjord lands and the glaciers. The room was a good size and spotless with good facilities. Susie was particularly friendly and helpful and made our stay comfortable. Good food and drinks at the nearby Hard Antler pub/ restaurant if you wish to eat out

Haast is a very small township and this motel was close to the small number of shops. The unit was tidy; some aspects could be renovated. It had all the facilities we needed however. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
