    Good garden Views but no checkin assistance spent about 30 min trying to find the bungalow no offer to assist Roast lamb was good. Poor Insulation heating provided would not offer warmth in cold/snow conditions Native birds fantastic

    Lots of walks in the Haast Pass area, plus more around The Neck. Moss covered bush, and brilliant views when you get above the treeline (if the clouds haven't closed in). Winter is probably not the best time, but still very walkable. In summer Wilkins Jetboats are operaiting and there are more high octane amusements on offer.

    The buildings are great and very kiwi.

    The buildings are great and very kiwi. This is a genuine place with fantastic staff and in a great setting. We'd recommend it to anybody travelling through beautiful Haast Pass. It's the real thing. Not poncy. The meal was great as was the beer....

    Makarora was a great place to stop and break our journey but it would have been a lovely place to kick back and enjoy the scenery for a few days. The staff at wonderland were helpful and friendly.there was a lovely atmosphere.

    A comfortable room in a very beautiful location (mountain views in front and behind), at an extremely good price. Main kitchen and wifi facilities were in shared areas, but our rooms were in an interesting, detached a-frame building that provided ample space and comfort. There are beautful forest walks very close to the site running through dense woodland with a distinct appearance and atmosphere.

    We really loved our stay here! It's a collection of A frame style cabins with kitchenettes, beautiful location and was quiet and peaceful, could see so many stars at night! Easy parking in front of your cabin but do have to walk (not as easy in the dark) to communal restrooms. Felt like very nice campgrounds. Wifi was not available in our cabin, only in the main lobby.

    Wonderful spot with little chalets dotted around and parking available beside each room. The shared space/kitchen was spacious and comfortable. Blue pools is just a 5 min drive away. There is also a short forest hike near the accommodation. Would stay again when back in Makarora!

    Very cute buildings surrounded by native trees. The room was spacious and comfortable. This is not a shiny hotel, but a cute and quirky place to stay. The cafe was open from 3 and served dinner from 5. The pool was great to cool off in. Lots of birds flying around as well.

    I can really see the potential of this place as a luxury camping option. The chalets were clean and warm. The beds were comfortable and the linen and duvets were hotel standard. The views were amazing. Lots of tracks nearby. Would be awesome for a back to nature trip.

    We loved staying here, the staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a chalet with the outdoor baths which we enjoyed. Everything was very clean and the beds super cozy. There is no cellphone cover in Makarora but limited free wifi. Love to return.

    The location suited as as we made the accomodation our base for unhurriedly exploring the larger Makarora surroundings for three full days. Kenna was a most helpful and friendly host. The place was very clean and safe.

    Bed was comfortable and unit was warm. Nespresso coffee maker and pods was a treat. Wilderness location of Makarora amongst bush that was abuzz with birdsong, was as I had hoped.

    We love makarora and had just come down the west coast after some tramping. We were looking forward to the chill out and some hanging out in the area.
