I remember when this beautiful historic building was a secondhand shop where nothing was ever for sale! This is a vast improvement. It's been gorgeously renovated and has spacious, elegant, quiet,comfortable rooms and a cafe attached where a set menu is served for those staying there. Absolutely delicious food and a great location wine selection. Jess is a fantastic host.

Such a delightful stay! Elegant and spacious rooms in the back of a wonderful cafe. We stayed here during our cycling trip on the Alps to Ocean Trail. Jess and her team made us very welcome, including scones on arrival, a delicious dinner, and a great packed lunch for our cycling the following day! Kurow is a great little village!

I stayed here as part of an Alps2Ocean Cycle Tour and was very impressed by the staff and room. It had a big, comfortable bed, excellent lighting, great shower and another small sitting/ reading room with 2 chairs. We had dinner and breakfast here, both excellent, unless you want a cooked breakfast. Kate the owner was lovely as were the other staff. Just a couple of small things: there is no shampoo in the bathrooms. You need to ask for it. Also, there is no air-conditioning.

We were the only guests in on the night we stayed.so it was very quiet The rooms were clean and comfortable but very small with little space to store bags etc . Aircon would have been appreciated The host was very friendly , knowledgeable of the area and made us feel very comfortable. Will stay again on my next trip in march

We stayed a night Waitaki Braids Lodge while completing the Alps2Ocean Cycle tour and I am so glad we did. This was a wonderful place to stay - warm, clean, comfortable and welcoming; well equipped, with comfortable beds, beautiful finishes, interesting artworks and good strong hot showers. Owner and host Kate White was a fascinating and highly articulate, engaging, funny and entertaining woman. The 3-course dinner was great and the "posh porridge" for breakfast (with stewed rhubarb, blood plums and apricots) lived up to its reputation! Highly recommended.

This is an excellent place to stay. Well furnished and very comfortable rooms. Lovely gardens and friendly resident dog! The restaurant serves excellent meals and the host Kate is very hospitable and helpful. Highly recommended.

This was my favorite stay in New Zealand! I love older/historic buildings - the building and rooms were arty and functional. The restaurant served great scones in the morning (and other stuff). At dinner the lamb rump was the best I had in NZ.. the vegis served with it were also the most varied that I had in NZ. Desert was a great cheese cake. The next morning our host led us in pre-cycling exercises and sent us off with fresh scones ;-)
