Nice hotel, well maintained. We had a good meal in the attached restaurant, The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, beyond what we would normally expect. Hotel is across the street from where busses to Milford Sound pick up passengers - very convenient. Hotel is within walking distance from shopping and the lake, but this involves a fairly long climb or taxi ride to get back to the hotel (I'm 76 and in good condition, so the climb was OK for me other than working up a good sweat). We are happy to recommend this hotel.
