Like the fact that you have a washer and dryer in the apartment. One of the better accommodation I had during our roadtrip and good value.

Some really good coastal walks set up by DOC. Some great board walks and coastal walks of various lengths. Peaceful area with most tourists not taking advantage of the walks and stopping in car parks for a quick look only. Warning: don't go off road near beachs. We towed someone out of the sand!

Haast is a definite stop and you must visit Jackson's Bay.
Haast is a definite stop and you must visit Jackson's Bay. Although itis a long way from Haast its a lovely drive and an interesting place when you get there. Make sure you take insect repellant as it is a MUST.
We ate at the hotel restaurant. Good selection of mains.
Lots of walks.

Haast requires some commitment to not just blast through to Wanaka or the glaciers. The visitors centre and the boardwalk (on way to Jackson Bay) are both worth an hour of your time. Plus all the points on the map just before and after Knights Point, Ship creek walks x2, waterfalls. An overnight stay is recommended to have two brilliant travel days.
Take snacks and a flask though, it's remote and you may not find something open when you are hungry. And sandfly repellent, and long clothes!

We only stayed in Haast for 2 nights as a stopover between Queenstown and Franz Josef. Although there is not a lot to do apart from various walks and some fishing we did do a day trip down to Jackson Bay. A lovely little village on the edge of the ocean and they have a great seafood restaurant.

Jackson's Bay was probably beautiful in the sun, it was pouring down whilst we were there!! There is nothing to see at Haast- The beach isOK but there are the awful black bitingfies in their droves, other than that it is just a place to break a journey if necessary.

Haast is a nice remote location close to the seashore and national park. When travelling there are the facilities that you would need, but limited in choices. There is a Pub and Cafe where you can eat, but beware of their hours of operation. Wifi and cell service seeks to be restrictive in the region should you be needing it.
Haast is really, I mean REALLY, small. This motel is located just down the street from essentially the only two restaurants in the town. Easy safe car parking right in front of your room. Nice kitchenette in the room as well as excellent Wi-Fi. Okay bed, okay bathroom. Overall quite clean room. The motel property had some nice plants around the perimeter. The woman that checked us in was friendly and pleasant.
We stayed in a family room. It had a well stocked fully functional kitchen. It had an upstairs and a downstairs. The upstairs had two beds and the downstairs was the living room along with another bed. It was right across the street from the beach entrance. Couldn't have asked for anything better. With the windows open at night you could easily hear the beach.
The apartment was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen had all the basics to make a meal, and milk was provided in the fridge. There was a free washing machine available for guest use. The lodge was close to the pub, shop and cafe. There was a covered place to store out bikes. The person who checked us in was charming.
Large, very clean and well appointed unit with big bathroom and excellent shower. Excellent location for exploring Jackson Bay area and general Haast region. Spent five days exploring walking tracks in the area and visited The Craypot at Jackson Bay three times. Had an excellent holiday, highly recommend this motel.
The motel is an ideal place to break your journey between the fjord lands and the glaciers. The room was a good size and spotless with good facilities. Susie was particularly friendly and helpful and made our stay comfortable. Good food and drinks at the nearby Hard Antler pub/ restaurant if you wish to eat out
Would stay here again was clean and comfortable. Was travelling by motorbike and asked for bike to be in front of room as car park was other side of motel and there was no trouble doing this. Pub had nice vibe and plenty of food on hand. Had a nice quiet sleep with no disturbances. Highly recommend.
Basic motel rooms, in a beautiful location. There is an RV park out front. The motel is not very inspiring, but it doesn't purport to be anything else. Rooms were comfortable and clean.
There is no restaurant or food on site; there are two restaurants within 1 km.
Great friendly welcome and super location with units clean and comfortable. Well equipped and parking outside door . Units warm and close to hotel for meals . Our go to motel when we are touring the West Coast. Also able to do our laundry which was a bonus .
The room was better than expected. Even though the Motel is close to the road there is no traffic overnight on the road so very quiet. Just the sounds of the waves breaking on the nearby shore.
About 100 yards to an isolated beach which was wonderful.
Was upgraded to a queen bedroom by pleasant staff at this backpackers and motel. The bed was comfortable for a quiet night's stay. Quirky internal garden common area. Grocery takeaway behind the facilities. Good parking available.
Everything. It was so peaceful and quiet. There’s a beautiful room where it’s so easy to loose track of time relaxing in there surrounded by plants. Best backpackers I’ve ever stayed at.
Really comfy and well appointed room - had everything we need for a relaxing visit. Met people from neighboring unit in the pub and had a nice evening together
