We had a confortable stay at this hotel. The bed was very soft and comfortable, and the room was extremely clean. It was well-equipped with a microwave and cookware, making everything very convenient. The breakfast was also delicious, and the host was very friendly. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back!

Everything, it is perfectly comfortable with perfect privacy. I rates this place 10 points after staying in NZ for 12 days, this is the best! I rate it 10 because I can’t give 100! The owner is so nice! If I am going to migrate to NZ, I want to be his neighbor.

Excellent location on Lake Wakatipu. Beautiful surroundings and picturesque. Facilities are excellent with a lovely day spa. Restaurant breakfast was good with lots to choose from. Rooms very comfortable with a bath, great views and a gas fire place. Close to the airport. Water taxi to town or easy drive.

Loved the size of room and the bed. The giant spa bath inside was really good. Also enjoyed the buffet breakfast, good selection of cereal, yoghurt and pastries. The view was beautiful and watching the sunrise from the hot tub was beautiful. Nice to feel away from any main roads. Good to have spare towels in hallway if needed.

We’d had a long drive to Golden Caves B & B but on arrival we were met by the hosts who were very welcoming. Beautiful home with a sauna, hot tub and spa pool. Breakfasts were amazing. Would thoroughly recommend.

The host was very generous with supplements in the kitchen such as coffee, tea, biscuits, some breakfast foods, dried soups, and so on. The kitchen, dining, and living room areas were comfortable and congenial. Relaxing in the warm spa at the end of the day was heavenly. Also, the park and beach were in walking distance.

Well. One shouldn't advertise this place, it's already so hard to get. Seriously. The rooms are nice, clean and lovingly designed. Breakfast is just great, especially the home made bread. Marie and Serge are wonderful hosts! Thank you you two. The spa area is like the rooms, two hot tubs one "hand heated" (Serge) sauna and a wide deck just great for star gazing. If you can't get a room, at least try the spa! Ah, and don't forget anything in the safe and pay for your minibar.
