Enjoyed our overnight stay at this lovely property. Our room was very nice, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, both delicious and all staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

The Fisherman’s Haunt night away

We stayed at the Fisherman’s Haunt for a night while on a family visit. Check in was easy and staff were welcoming. We decided to have dinner in the restaurant which was decent. Not the largest selection of food however what we did receive was superb and the beer selection does well for a night away. Overall would recommend to anyone in the area

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were friendly and helpful. Disappointed to find the restaurant closed at 8 pm and the bar at 9. After a very long day at work and drive down, arriving at 7.30 I felt I wanted time to relax and enjoy a beer rather than be rushed in and out. The food I did have was fairly mediocre. Clearly just reheated, I could have got a microwave meal on the way down which could have been nicer! Fairly expensive too - (compared to what I would expect to pay back up in the north anyway). Very disappointingly breakfast is not provided. this is actually made clear in the bumph provided, but they quote some weird government legislation that prevents them doing breakfast! Odd... Rooms were fine, quite nice but nothing special so glad I a better rate through Expedia. Wall paper peeling off in my room. But a fan was provided for some of the hottest days of the year which was good. Tea and coffee as normal - no biscuits on the first day! Just one pack of two on the second .. Come on! It is a nice place in a nice area, nothing special it has to be said. The advertising and website implies it is more upmarket than it turned out to be. All in all, Yes, fine, but average, verging on the disappointing. Just a point about breakfast. I travel a lot and I find some places now do a buffet style breakfast, with cereals,, toast/croissants etc left out. Milk, fruit juice and some yoghurts etc available in a fridge for customers to help themselves, very cheap and easy to do. Makes all the differenc

Stay Away

We booked a 3 night stay. we had to check out after 1 night. The room had mold in all of the window frames. When we checked out after 1 night, the man who checked us out apologised and promised to refund the 2 nights that we were unable to stay. This was a lie. The hotel is now refusing the refund the money, as we had a non-refundable rate. Apparently an uninhabitable room is our problem, not theirs. We moved to the Kings Arms hotel in Christchurch and had a fabulous experience, but are still out over $200. Terrible experience.

Disappointing

Confusion on check in , got told another guest had taken our keys , so I feel we were therefore given the wrong room. The room & bathroom needs a deep clean - main light , side lamps , bathroom skirting, tile edging , sink pedestal & toilet pedestal & windows inside were all dusty/ dirty. Bed very comfy. Evening meal was good . We were woken up twice by other guests trying to get into our room . Saying they had the same room number ( unsure what happened there). Breakfast was not so good , the spinach was so watery it made the hash brown soggy & a watery plate. The place has so much potential. Decor is nice & a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It was a real shame our stay wasn’t a great experience.
