Very basic cabin type accommodation. Good value for a good overnight rest. The room was clean. The staff was nice. No mountain views to speak of but only an hour from Mount Cook.

A great place place with efficiencies for an overnight stay. The place was clean, the kitchen enough for breakfast and milk enough for instant coffee and cereal. The area is quiet and off the main road for a good night’s sleep. Had a hearty meal at the Glider Cafe.

We enjoyed our stay at Ahuriri Motels. We just stayed one night here on our travels around NZ. Check in and out was easy. The room was cosy and easy to heat, which was good as it had been very cool that day. A nice touch was the fresh milk that was provided when you arrived.

Ahuriri Motels vastly exceeded by expectations. Great property with an interesting story. The cabin was much nice and larger than the photos already suggested. I could move in! Very comfortable and a great location. Loved the stay.

The living room is nice, but a little bit cold, the heater is not close to the cough, it needs time to warm up the room. Master bedroom has no heater and is small, the queen size bed occupied the whole room, no space for bag luggage and walk around. The bathroom is old style.

This place is great for a couple of nights if you’re visiting the nearby attractions such as Aoraki/Mt Cook. The facility is older and maybe due for a renovation. However, it still offers a good value. You can park the car right infront of your room. They gave us fresh milk to have with coffee, which was a nice touch! Restaurant options are not great in that small community. Overall, it was a good night stay for us after hiking in the Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park.
