Guest Reviews
- Tanya (10/5): - Friendly staff. Great food. Cosy and warm. Great walks nearby. Nothing. Decided to stay on! It's not shiny and new but we didnt expect that. Great value!
- Leonie (9/5): Very good. Will stay again if in that area. - Our host was friendly and efficient, even if the only one on duty, so he was kept busy.
For our evening meal, we just ordered soup as we had eaten a full meal earlier in the day. It was EXCELLENT.
The breakfast suited us as we could have this at any time which suited our plans for the morning. Nothing to report. I've staying twice before, so I knew what to expect.

Holes in walls filled with toilet paper
Online photos misleading
- Marco (8/5): -
- Ari (2/5): - Awesome atmosphere inside pub, room had extremely good water pressure which made things better. the room was outside garden shed converted into a room, it was surreal being led outside to what i thought was an old outhouse toilet but beyond the broken garden shed door was my room. holes in the ceiling patched with old crate bottle boxes. broken glass that lets cold air in. it was a bit of a catfish with the fire in the photos as i thought that was for my room.
- Joe (10/5): Sweet Maniototo stay here - It was just fantastic! Great room, service, cool vibe, sweet location, with excellent pub grub. Nothing is too much trouble, truly excellent value for $, and they are pet & E bike friendly Nada -Waipiata ticked every box
- Larissa (10/5): Wonderful stay in a beautiful country hotel! Friendly staff & yammy food! -
- Emma (8/5): Everything we needed for one night on the rail trail. - Good pub meal and atmosphere. Great location next to the Central Otago rail trail. Big comfy bed. No option for a cooked breakfast although there was a good selection of cereals, yoghurts, fruit, and condiments for toast including oat milk for plunger coffee 😍
Shower was a little tired but good water pressure.

- Robyn (9/5): A great country pub which we rated as good value for both accommodation and food. - Excellent breakfast and a bonus to find it was included in the room rate. Very quiet even though its a country pub on a Saturday night. Nice bed & pillows. The shared bathroom floor was extremely slippery when wet.
Not able to lock the room when away. Had to leave the luggage in the car until we were back for the night.

Id wanted to come and stay for a while since i had previously lived in duntroon and on occassion gone for a ride with others over danseys for the day and they had introduced me to waipiata country hotel, i liked going there from the first day i stepped in the door. Id always wanted to have dinner here rather than a quick lunch. It didnt disappoint.

Good selection for the continental breakfast next morning too - great way to end our stay.
Thanks Waipiata Hotel!
- Ian (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food and very good selection available. The room was ok but a small fridge could have been handy as it was a very hot day.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice continental breakfast, comfortable rooms and a nice beer garden
- Pedro (10/5): Excellent one night stay (rail trail) - We had an excellent one night stay while on the rail trail. Very friendly and helpful staff, nice beds, good water pressure, fast wifi, covered bike parking, nice outdoor spaces, great continental breakfast which even included granola with dried raspberries, fresh fruit and plunger coffee. Hotel guests have nice shared lounge. Overall one of our finest and most memorable stays in NZ over a month of travel this trip.
Couples: cheese platters available.
Cyclers: Rooms include the continental breakfast, free laundry available (self-serve), ample filtered drinking water for water bottles, 50 meters off the trail.
Not connected to the room itself but important to note: the pub has excellent food and drinks at a very fair price. The pies are house-made and excellent--we did Thai Lamb and Pumpkin-Spinach-Feta. The place was pretty busy on a Monday night with locals--always a great sign!

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Mark was a very welcoming host. The room was comfortable, nicely decorated and very clean. The meals in the restaurant were excellent and well priced.
