Jacksons Hotels

"The rooms are nice, the views all around are wonderful, location is convenient. But really the reason i gave it 5 stars is due to the proprietor. Fiona is generous, affable, helpful, and just generally lovely host."

"We were so warmly welcomed by our hosts and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lake Brunner Longhouse. We took advantage of the game room, BBQ area, and great breakfast treats. It was the perfect landing pad for our Hokitika adventures! We highly recommend this holiday hideaway! "

"The Bealey is a great hotel. We had a spacious villa with an amazing view. The staff were all very nice. Food options adequate - nothing fancy. Good location near many walking tracks. Glad we stayed there. "

"Lovely place, cool decor, everything you need."

"We were given an unexpected room upgrade from one triple to two ocean view rooms on arrival. The delicious dinners were offered on the covered patio overlooking the extensive flowering gardens and the ocean before our hosts treated us to an amphibious beach buggy ride at sunset. We finished the day relaxing in the hot tub. Wonderful day. They made it so easy to include everything they offered. Would highly recommend to anyone. "

"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. "
