The view is truly impressive— we were even able to see a rainbow from the window, which was a lovely surprise. However, the Wi-Fi connection was quite slow during our stay, which may be inconvenient for guests who need stable internet access. In addition, I would strongly recommend booking dinner in advance or bringing sufficient food supplies. When we arrived at 1:30, the restaurant was already fully booked, and we were only able to have some snacks instead of a proper meal. Unfortunately, the children had to wait until the next morning to have a full breakfast. Overall, it is a beautiful place with great scenery, but guests should plan ahead regarding meals and internet needs. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7391002a-c424-4546-bb11-828cfc2f0112-1763523359162.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed36324c-7733-4e35-ac0e-89b8da40fc64-1763523351111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### zhongrong Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Discovery Countrytime Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omarama-Hotels-Discovery-Countrytime-Hotel.h1145773.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Aqua-Lodge.h51669090.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kaka Point Motels](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaka-Point-Hotels-The-Kaka-Point-Motels.h9679525.Hotel-Information) > > [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > > [Carrick Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Carrick-Lodge-Motel.h9626119.Hotel-Information) > > [Maple Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Wanaka-Hotels-Maple-Lodge.h1862628.Hotel-Information) > > [Possum Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Manapouri-Hotels-Possum-Lodge.h76981300.Hotel-Information) > > [Avon Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawera-Hotels-Avon-Motel.h9629592.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Mt-Cook-View-Motel.h7275200.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohakune TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ohakune-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h33230446.Hotel-Information) > > [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > > [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakefront Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Lakefront-Luxury.h37329794.Hotel-Information) > > [Tasman Holiday Parks – Beachaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Beach-Hotels-Beachaven-Top-10-Holiday-Park.h9624344.Hotel-Information) > > [Solitaire Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Solitaire-Lodge.h3840.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Pub](https://www.expedia.ca/Methven-Hotels-The-Blue-Pub.h9628177.Hotel-Information) > > [Distinction Luxmore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Distinction-Luxmore-Hotel.h519248.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeview Colonial Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Colonial-Village-Motel.h11453583.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Lodge Okataina](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Okataina-Hotels-Lakes-Lodge-Okataina.h88669411.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > > [Stopforths Premium Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Hokitika-Hotels-Stopforths-Premium-Accommodation.h23236034.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fern & Thistle Luxury Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Benhar-Hotels-The-Fern-Thistle-Accommodation.h55531272.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Rivers Boutique Lodge Ohakune](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Two-Rivers-Ohakune.h109320695.Hotel-Information) > > [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > > [Ruapehu Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ruapehu-Country-Lodge.h9625899.Hotel-Information)
