The accommodation was excellent, comfortable and homely. We had a very brief stay as we had an early start. Margaret and Bill provided an excellent packed breakfast for us.

From the moment you walk into Hopewell, you get a feeling you are staying somewhere very special. After a fun and scenic little boat ride to the property (which is part of the experience of ‘leaving the world behind’), we were greeted by warm and friendly hosts and staff. We were assisted with our luggage, along a magical short / easy path through the oasis to get to our cottage. With a view to die for, our cottage was perfect in every way, clean and everything we needed (with super comfy beds!). We could tell so much care had been taken to make our stay wonderful. Do yourself a favor and order the pizzas for dinner , homemade by our hosts. They are humongous and made with delish fresh ingredients. We enjoyed them outside on a candle lit table by a toasty fire, finished off with complimentary toasted marshmallows! We changed things up to prepare our own meals on other nights which we had fun preparing in the best shared kitchen / facilities I have ever seen! There is nothing you want for.. it has everything from basic staples to sharp knives.. something you miss during travels ! (Even includes a huge, comfy living room with a toasty fireplace the staff are constantly stoking up !) We also enjoyed freshly baked homemade bread in the morning for breakfast and delicious espressos (we are from Melbourne , so takes a lot to impress us with coffee!!!). After a long journey around the South Island, we chose to take it easy at Hopewell.. easy strolls around the property to enjoy the breathtaking views, took a bike ride, played and swam in the sound shoreline with our toddler, kayaked, read a book in the hammock overlooking pristine landscape, and an evening soak in the hot tub. But you could do as little or as much as you like, with generous hosts available to help you plan activities as you desire. We found Hopewell absolutely magical, where we got lost in relaxation and making beautiful family memories together.

The playground being so close! Very warm and clean.
As families grow in size, so too do the needs of a family holiday. That’s why family hotels are set up to cater for all ages, from toddlers and kids to teens and adults. Typically, you can expect restaurants with kids’ menus, games rooms, fitness centres and a pool area where children can play and parents can relax.
Stunning location, plenty to do with the kids but also great for the adults. we went swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, walking, running, listened to animal talks & even had a bath with a view. The food at the restaurant was excellent too. I highly recommend the fish main & our 10 year old LOVED the brownie dessert.
the location was breathtaking - such a beautiful place with amazing views. the staff were so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. the kids loved the animal feeding, underwater observatory and the kayaks.
the rooms were comfortable and we had a lovely meal in the restaurant. recommended for family trips and couple getaways.
The service was exceptional and the place was very beautiful. The views from the room were also amazing, with added bonus of being able to use the water equipment freely. The kids definitely loved all the activities.
