We stayed one night at this hotel and loved the place. The owners were great and gave us the tour of the facility and even took the bags up to our room. Great location and very updated and modern rooms in this 1800's facility. Also free high speed internet was a huge bonus. more

the owners of this hotel could not have been any nicer, the hotel itself is located with an old building but the rooms themselves have been renovated with the latest bathroom fixtures, the internet and parking was free, we only stayed one night but we enjoyed it more

What a surprise: town not bad, lovely Oreti Beach, nice Bluff and this lovely hotel, in perfect condition, high quality and the most friendly owners I ever seen (and I stayed in many high-quality hotels all over the world) I'm... more

My wife and I stayed one night at the Victorial Railway Hotel on our way between the Catlins and Fjordlands. It was an excellent choice.
