Runanga Hotellit

”The restaurant on the property was great to have.”

”Quiet location”

”Really friendly, we were made to feel welcomed. Small touches went a long way.”

”A beautiful place—our only regret was not staying longer! Pavi went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. When we checked in, he asked if we had dinner plans. We didn’t, and since the hotel is the town’s only restaurant and was fully booked with reservations, he personally spoke with several people to make sure we were still able to enjoy dinner that evening. The hotel also offers laundry facilities, but we didn’t have any NZD cash and our American cards...

”The room was spacious and clean and the location is great. The staff was really helpful. The room had no aircondition and we couldn't keep the balcony door open at night because the balcony was shared with next door room.”

”Gute Lage zur Stadt, die Unterkunft war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Aufgrund der Lage etwas lsut, aber Ohropax war vom gastgeber bereitgestellt. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten: die Bettdecke im Einzelbett war zu groß, das ließ sich nicht gut schlafen. Zudem waren die scharfen Messer leider nicht mehr scharf. Und eine Kaffeemaschine für Pads macht ohne einen Grundvorrat an Pads wenig Sinn.”

”Friendly, kind and very helpful hosts. Very much so! If you need any help - you will be in the right place. Rooms are usual/basic.”

”We spend one night here in December. This holiday park is surrounded by sea on one side, cemetery on one side and airfield on the third side. With that in mind, we had a good stay here, with no planes landing or taking off during our stay. (No ghost or zombies either.) The room in which we stayed, was fairly good and equipped, but had a CRT TV, which was a surprise. But well, who watches TV every day when touring New Zealand? The public shower/WC area was little dirty, but good enough for one...

”Clean room with reasonable price. Owners were very helpful”

”The room was great, very clean and spacious. Check in was super easy and the owner was lovely and had lots of recommendations for eating out in the area”

”Room was quite musty smelling. Carpet old and in need of a deep clean at least or replacing. The sofa also old and smelly. I wouldnt want to sit on it. Kitchen fixtures also old and inside them could do with a good clean and replacement or removal of liners. ”

”I had to pay 10$ for another blanket (apparently 2 persons should do with one banket). Extra blanket I got was dirty, full of stains. Otherwise the room was nice and big. So if you go there, maybe take your own blankets.”

”Yksi sänky pois ja pöytä tilalle. Huone oli liian ahdas ja pimeä. Tilas lisää. Wc hyvä ja valoisa. Hyvä yöpyminen ohikulkumatkalaiselle.”

”Very kind staff. Easy access. Proper rooms”

”Great stay, had all the needs including a kitchenette as i love to do my own breakfast.”

”House is as advertised, comfortable family area.”

”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...
