    Great little motel, owners are very friendly, livestock was welcoming, ordered a meal to be left in room as Burkes Pass can be quite isolated, so worked well.

    The location was awesome, only a small drive from Tekapo, and also Fairley. Very good value for money. Unit has been renovated and was spotlessly clean. Friendly hosts. I would stay again and would be happy to recommend to others!
