This place was a welcome respite after a difficult schlep over Arthur's Pass. But we awoke to mountains and rainbows, plus moa encounters across the highway. A better place for two (comfy bed) than three (uncomfortable fold-out couch and close quarters). Visit the pub across the street for beer to calm your nerves after driving up and over the pass. It's an awe-inspiring setting. Also: an easy, gorgeous 100-minute drive to the airport from up there.
