Kumara Historic Cottages

No wifi but very comfortable beds.

Would have been good to have wifi access

Didn't realise we were getting a shared house, when we booked a cottage

Cramped room. No info about the use of common rooms. No fan Couldn’t open windows

Location suited us for our travels. Cottage very cosy and comfortable

Breakfast at hotel a little overpriced and we had to ask for some items to be replenished but done with a smile from staff member on duty.

At the time of writing, this hotel has a 9.2 on Expedia. That is truly absurd. This hotel is old (they don’t call it “historic” for nothing) and run down (featuring peeling wallpaper, a saggy matress, threadbare carpet and a kitchen that looks like it was built in the 80s). Making things worse, there is literally not a single thing of interest in Kumara (it only exists because it is a stop on the West Coast Wilderness Trail). Unless you’re using this hotel as a way to break your cycle trip, I see no reason to stay here.

Felt safe and room for e bikes. Loved washing facilities for clothes. Nice having the communal area to meet other guests and have breakfast together . Wonderful stay for wilderness Trail

Lighting for reading at night was not adequate.
