Guest Reviews

Anthony (8/5): A good stopover if it fits your travel plans. - Included breakfast was continental buffet. Adequate but not exceptional. Ambience in the bar that evening where they had a guest singer .
Pilanthana (9/5): -
gillian (8/5): - The hotel was really charming and the cottage accommodation we booked beautifully decorated and clean. There was bike storage available and it wasn't a problem to leave our cars parked the following day while we rode the Wilderness trail. Unfortunately one of the cottages was located some distance from the hotel, however we had a car and it was very quaint. The second cottage had too many beds placed in a very small room, which were antique frames that squeaked at every turn. I did mention this to staff the following morning so hopefully it is rectified as 2 hours sleep was not great. Do not arrive early as the duty manager was very strict with the 2pm check in.
Thomas (8/5): -
Stephen (7/5): -
Yi ming (6/5): -
Barbara (7/5): Comfortable heritage cottage with some problems which management needs to address. Not good value. - Comfortable heritage cottage, comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Main bedroom had a bath in it. I think the money could be better spent elsewhere in the cottage. Cleanliness not up to scratch for the price paid. Some furnishings in lounge tatty and torn. My bedroom needed a good clean with dead bugs and cobwebs in the corners and someone's pill under the bedside table. Washing machine spindle needed a clean, as did the tub next to it which had a filthy old broom and dirty rag sitting in it. Will be writing to management with full info and photos so they can address the problem. I can appreciate staffing can be a problem in some areas but it you can't clean it, don't let it out. Kitchen utensils looked like they came from the local op shop.
Vanessa (10/5): Classic old kiwi pub stay experience - The staff were amazing. It a proper old bed and breakfast pub. We loved it. Not enough wardrobe space but that was minor. we were only stopping one night
Pascale (7/5): Une étape comme au temps des calèches - Utile pour une étape . Bonne literie Le déco, dans le thème soit, est quand même un peu difficile en fin de compte . Néanmoins on était prévenu .
Anne (7/5): - Lovely old refurbished building with lots of charm. N/A
Karin (8/5): An atmospheric stay in a historical hotel with modern conveniences. - This is a hotel with history and the rooms take one back in time, with the added advantage of a modern bathroom. A restaurant on site is convenient, and it’s just a few minutes walk to see glow worms after dark.
Christine (10/5): Fun location, great stories about the town’s history. Nice staff and fun to chat with other guests. Room was large and - Location, historic building
Julie (6/5): Good location for stop off on WCWTrail - Lovely well equipped and decorated cottage. Too far from main hotel 650m. Didn’t realise that. Not great if biking in the rain. Directions to get there by staff we met in the evening vague and only verbal. No map. Tv poor.
Brendon (9/5): -
Angela (2/5): - Place was dirty and had mould. very dear
Jacqueline (9/5): It was novel, comfy and quiet. Loved it. - It was elegant, tastefully decorated. The beds were comfy and there was a claw foot bath in the master bedroom, in addition to the ensuite! We couldn't figure out the tv.
Stephanie (7/5): Totally charming in every way. - Full of character, comfortable, and clean. We liked being in the Kumara village. Nice to have the hotel restaurant and bar available. Everything was great.
Cath (8/5): Really unique stay just 15 minutes out of Hokitika in a lovely peaceful location. We stayed in the Seddon Suite over the - Unique charm, quiet location, the history, well curated, clean A few maintenance issues in terms of loose fixtures, or tap in hand basin
Silvia (6/5): - die Ausstattung war seht originell, wir haben in der Dependance sprich ehemals Bank of New Zealand geschlafen. die Räume rochen miefig, durch die Lage direkt an der Durchgangsstrasse zum Arthurs Pass war es teilweise sehr laut
Jose (9/5): -
Heather (8/5): -
Jill (4/5): -
Walter (9/5): -
Richard (10/5): - There is a path in back leading to a glow worm extravaganza.
DOMINIQUE (7/5): MOYEN - L'accueil est chaleureux. Le dîner est correct.Le petit déjeuner est correct. Si vous avez le sommeil léger, prenez des boules Quiès.
Donlon (6/5): -
Helen (9/5): -
Steve (9/5): -
Sally (9/5): Highly recommend - Cottage was very comfortable
Christine (10/5): A Must Stay or visit for lunch / dinner - Everything was just perfect; room, food, hospitality, warm, clean. The history of the Hotel and surrounds is wonderful. We were biking the Wilderness Trail and were all set up for bikers and bike storage.... Brilliant!! Nothing, could not have been a better place to stay.
Rebekah (6/5): - Traditional
Elizabeth (9/5): - Really enjoyed the room and it was entertaining to read all the articles about the "notorious drunk" the room was named after. Loved the decor and location. When it got dark it was a two minute walk past the cabins at the back to see glow worms which was pretty cool. There was a fridge in the common area upstairs but would have liked one in the actual room.
Julie (9/5): -
Yifeng (10/5): - Wonderful spacious room
Amanda (9/5): -
Sarah (9/5): - The decor hit the mark for the era of the hotel
Daniel (6/5): Stylisch nostalgisches Hotel, leider nicht gut gepflegt - Wir waren als Familie in der Suite die optisch Mega cool nostalgisch geblieben ist. Die Zimmer waren sehr schlecht gereinigt, die Betten sind aus der Gründungszeit, teilweise kaputt und kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch und die Matratzen gehören ausgetauscht.
Campbell (9/5): -
Rosie (7/5): - The cottage was nice Restaurant had good food The windows was left open and there were so many migies.
Joachim (9/5): -
Roxanne (8/5): Delightful but a bit expensive - Serene escape and so lovely and quiet Could hear the birds and so nice not to listen to traffic noise Room was clean and neat and had a great feel Loved the information given on the history of the place It was too expensive for what it was The breakfast was not worth the extra money paid for B&B Seperate room in the miners cottage needs AC or a fan to deter mosquitos but staff at the bar lent us a fan so problem solved
Alex (10/5): - The room was wonderful, beautiful and with an impressive quality, very comfortable and exceptional comfort, the restaurant and bar very nice and the food delicious
Michelle (8/5): - It's was very period decor, very Victorian, totally unexpected, four poster bed, free standing bath tub, tea cups and saucer, really clean, very friendly staff, good food in restaurant Not much else in the town
Timo (3/5): - Gute Lage Sehr staubig, keine Seife am Waschbecken im Bad, Teppiche wurden gefühlt ewig nicht mehr gereinigt
Arpan (4/5): - Very smelly and old property.. windows and door and broken
Emma (10/5): Exceptional stay, full of history. - Everything! This was the highlight of our NZ tour so far, we were in the “Annie” room in the main hotel, spotlessly clean, everything we could need, so peaceful. We had dinner in the pub and the food was fabulous. Tabby, who works in the bar/restaurant was exceptional in her service, highly recommend a stay here. Only staying one night, we loved it.
GXB17 (9/5): Séjour agréable - L’hôtel est très bien situé et dégage une ambiance unique, un peu « Bagdad Café », qui rend le séjour vraiment charmant. L’accueil était agréable. La chambre était correcte et propre. Nous avons pu y dîner : c’était bon. Un endroit authentique et agréable pour une étape vers les glaciers. Le petit-déjeuner en libre-service était correct mais avec une offre limitée
Martin MJM (9/5): -
Jim (10/5): Nice hotel - Very nice hotel and very good dinner and breakfast
Mark (6/5): - Breakfast was very poor
Yvonne (10/5): Trotzallem wunderbar, vorallem der Koch, er versteht sein Handwerk. - Sehr Stilvolle Möbel. In alte Zeiten zurückgesetzt. Es könnte sauberer sein. Gebrauchtes Handtuch hing noch hinter der Tür, die Kaffeetasse halbgefüllt stand vom letzten Gast noch auf dem Nachtrisch.
Christa (6/5): - Nettes Personal, sehr gutes Essen im Restaurant, Retrocharme. Bett war nicht gut, Zimmer ziemlich eng, Frühstück war ärmlich.
Katrine (10/5): Skøn perle midt i Kumara - Skønt sted beliggende midt i en by uden meget andet, end dette skønne hotel og så tæt på tracks. Vi spiste den lækreste aftensmad og betjeningen var utrolig sød og hjælpsom. Dejlig morgenmad inden vi fortsatte vores tur videre.
Anna (9/5): - When you enter på village, you maybe think: where am i? But this hotell is something else. They have revonvated the hole theatre and the bank on the other side off the road. It is all in victorian style! Really good food, really good people and oh my good for the interier. The village can drag it down alittle BUT I thinking that around some years from now the village will flourish. It needs more people with good buisness ideas.
Dianne (10/5): We Recommend Theatre Royal to all . - We love staying at the Theatre Royal, love the history, the quirkiness, the staff. Some great “ secret “ fishing spots nearby and it’s always fun exploring the area - with so much to see and do . We stayed in the seddon suite this time and loved it . Have stayed in all the hotel rooms some of them multiple times . We will keep coming back . Previously we’ve always had amazing meals at the restaurant- this time the food wasn’t great. We didn’t say anything as the staff were absolutely wonderful and we can all have a bad day - even chefs .
Janette (8/5): Stepped back in time enjoying the history and ambience of a grand old lady - Handy to Wilderness trail Friendly and helpful staff Locking and charging bikes in shed Laundry available Nothing
Philip (8/5): -
Alexandra (10/5): -
Paranihi (10/5): -
laura (7/5): - Loved the old style of the cottage. Amazing and so lovely. The water pressure was non existence in the showers.
Arno (7/5): -
George (8/5): -
Natalia (10/5): Gran experiencia - Nos encantó el ambiente y la decoración del hotel, es antiguo pero te teletransportas a otra época por lo que se vuelve una gran experiencia en el viaje. La habitación era cómoda y estaba la limpia. La comida en el restaurante merece la pena. La gente que lo lleva es muy agradable también.
Ramona (4/5): Muffiges Zimmer für hohen Preis - Tolle Tipps vom Personal bei Passsperrung, Restaurant im Haus mit guter Küche. Unser Zimmer roch muffig, sodass wir bei 4 Grad das Fenster aufladen mussten, das zur Straße und zur Küchenabluft hinaus ging. Das Bad hat leider keine Heizung und keinen Sichtschutz am Fenster. Dazu Ist leider auch die Sauberkeit nicht gut: der Teppich im Schlafraum war nicht gesaugt und im Bad waren in den Ecken noch Haare vom Vorgänger.

Pooja (9/5): -
Sheryn (8/5): -
JEFFREY (10/5): - Nothing too much trouble for staff. A serendipitous find of an idiosyncratic venue. We absolutely loved it after some of the soulless hotels we stayed in on our vacation. We stayed in one if the "cabins". Just great.
Susan (10/5): - Idyllic spot to stop on the coast.
Tapesh (10/5): -
Brenda (7/5): - Owners had done fantastic work restoring the hotel and facilities. Cottage was comfortable and had everything you needed for a few days stay. Very handy having the hotel so close for a few drinks and a beautiful meal. Staff were great Cottage had a stale musty smell and very cold on arrival. Improved once aired and warmed up. Bathroom had a damp smell and this didn't improve. On further inspection, we found a small area of black mould/rot in the skirting board near the shower. Apparently our cottage had been upgraded, but looking into it, it cost less than what we had paid
Antonio (9/5): Tienes que ir - Hotel de época del tipo de la fiebre del oro, muy acogedor y pintoresco. La anfitriona una verdadera crack, inmejorable, desayuno correcto, cama muy cómoda y habitación de museo de la época, encantador Nada
Sonya (9/5): Great West Coast stay. - Great stay, we stayed in one of the Miners cottages. Very roomy. Restaurant great to eat at. Staff fantastic. Don’t forget to check out the glow worms.
raquel (8/5): -
David (10/5): perfect place to stay for the location we were working at - Breakfast was fantastic
Bärbel (8/5): -
Tina (10/5): -
peter (10/5): Back to Kumara - A one night stay on a roadie down the West Coast heading for the snow. We have stayed here before and frankly, wouldn't consider anywhere else. This time we had a miner's cottage (free upgrade!), it was warm and quirky which we love. Ate in the bar, a real kiwi pub experience and friendly locals. The area is very interesting
Kathryn (10/5): Lovely clean, warm room. - I like that this property is close tho where we needed to be.
Lesleigh (10/5): -
Cheryl (10/5): - The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed being able to have dinner at the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly
Rob (8/5): -
Beatrice (8/5): - Both of the spaces that we were in were well appointed and warm - and very prettily renovated..All of the reception staff are terrific. There was a booking mix-up which meant we weren't in the room we had booked for either night of our two night stay. The staff worked hard to rectify this, which I really appreciated, but while both spaces were very nice, it was not the stay we had expected (and splashed out on), and we never got to relax properly because of moving.
Oil (10/5): wonderful ! - The delicious food at the restaurant and the experience of dining in a space that felt almost like living as a local made this the most wonderful feel of our entire trip. I hope to return to this place the next time I visit New Zealand. I hope the hotel can provide a simple map with directions on how to reach the accommodation.
Luc (5/5): - Près de la route principale Pas de café espresso alors qu'il y avait une machine disponible.
Camille (10/5): -
Susan (10/5): Superb - Staff and furnishings and extra touches to the decor and bathroom supplies Breakfast, only in it should have been described as a continental kne, we were expecting a cooked breakfast.
Sharon (10/5): - My favourite spot to stay on the Coast
Kristine (8/5): Homely Cottage - I loved the cottage nestled among natives. Bellbirds & fantails singing. It was private. Comfy bed. Two bathrooms & a bath in the main bedroom ❤️ Friendly, caring staff It was a bit cold. It needs a new logburner, it didn't seal properly or put out a lot of heat. It would also benefit from having curtains/ blinds on all windows & doors to keep the heat in. A cutlery drawer would be easier than getting it out of the pantry cupboard.
Dorothea (10/5): Exceptional -
Kaye (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel has been renovated to a high standard. Our suite in the old BNZ building was stunning
Lukasz (7/5): Good - We only stayed for a short night, arriving late and leaving in the morning without breakfast. The room had a cosy, old-fashioned charm and a very comfortable bed, which made for a good night’s sleep. The kettle, tea and coffee in the room was a nice detail. The bathroom was clean and spacious, a bit outdated. A lot of parking space. It was a thoughtful touch that the staff left a key for us, as we arrived after reception had closed. It would’ve been helpful to know in advance that late check-in (with the key waiting for us) was possible. We weren’t sure what time we’d arrive, and after hours, there was only a voicemail, so we had no way to confirm what to do - this left us a bit uncertain until we got there. The hotel felt a bit musty, and the space was tight; not much room to move around, especially with two large suitcases. Also worth noting: there’s no elevator and the corridors are narrow, which could be tricky with heavy luggage.
Elizabeth (7/5): Good -
Sharon (10/5): - Victorian Suite in the BNZ bank building was fantastic. Loved sleeping the 4-poster bed and soaking in the slipper bath. Relaxing having our own lounge area. Enjoyed both evening meals we had across at the hotel.
Dallas (10/5): Exceptional -
Imogen (10/5): Romantic getaway spot! - Cool and vintage! Had the best sleeps, so cozy and friendly staff. Great food
Anthony (9/5): Superb - A lovely room with heaps of space, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hotel was great too and we'd definitely stay again.
Dianne (9/5): Lovely accommodation would recommend - We loved how well the room was set up, it was very warm and charming It would have been nice to have a heated towel rail so towels could dry overnight. Also was a bit difficult doing any dishes just felt it would have been nice to have a bench
Ramon (10/5): - Gloriously restored original 150 year old bank .. claw bath was beautiful, bed was heavenly , lovely antiques furniture and decorations . The pub was also amazingly restored .. and the venison dinner was 5 star ⭐️.. love love loved it .. THANKS 🙏
Simon (8/5): Very good - Friendly staff and great set up in keeping with the character of the region The window in the bathroom had quite a few cobwebs and was moldy. It was also quite dirty under the beds.
