While we only got to meet Rochelle very briefly, we appreciated her advice on things to do in the area, especially the hiking trails. The loft was very clean and cosy for our stay. Location is convenient across the road from the Bealey Hotel - as that is the only place to get internet (albeit very poor connection and at a cost). The hotel is also good for meals, as while the loft has a very small kitchenette it is not very well equipped for cooking meals. Travellers should note that the Arthurs Pass store does not stock any fresh produce at all - so you must bring everything you need from either the west coast or on your way in from Christchurch. Given this, we thought it might be an improvement if some basic provisions were provided at the loft (i.e. salt/pepper and olive oil). Other than that, it was a pleasant area to stay for exploring the glorious Arthurs Pass National Park.
