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.
