Best Hotels in Woodside, New Zealand

Originally, the environment and facilities here were not bad. In a ranch more than ten kilometers away from Danidine, it was very late when we checked in. We booked four rooms separately. One of them found that the reservation was unsuccessful. The boss (a serious old man) gave us a family of three upgraded to a family suite. We renewed our subscription for a day as soon as we were happy, and went to the Danitin city the next day and went to the supermarket to buy food and make it ourselves. Who knows that our car leaked oil the next night, and after negotiating with the rental car, he said that he had to wait for the car dealership here to work tomorrow before he could have a solution. The next day, we waited until 10 o'clock and it was not resolved. We explained the situation to the old man. He also enthusiastically helped us contact the car dealership. When waiting for the rescue car, the old man said that we could stay in Room 4, and the rescue car came to see that it was not repaired, so it was a long wait and constant negotiation. Finally, I waited until the car dealership agreed to send a car to tow our car away. This time it was 1:30 pm. The old man said that we would pay for the room 4 for another night. I negotiated with him and said that many hotels can apply for late check-out. If it doesn't work, I will charge half a day before 6 o'clock...who knows The old man said we were not the others, if you don't pay a day's room rate, call the police immediately! Originally grateful for the old man's collection, but also thought to give him a little tip to express, did not expect the result is like this!

John and the lovely Barbara we there in our time of need. We had such an awful stay in Dunedin we looked for something better and by golly didn't we just! This fantastic Bed and Breakfast was an oasis of calm, peace and happiness. The welcome we received was second to none and the glass of wine on the terrace was just the tonic we needed. The building is modern with all up to date amenities, something which cannot be said of a very large part of NZ motels, sadly. Super modern room with fantastic bed, magic shower and spotlessly clean. Great TV offering including Netflix, another facility in excess of the norm, 5 channels, if you are lucky, in most motels etc. They have a guest kitchen where we cooked a meal, all the facilities you would have at home. The terrace outside our room overlooked alpaca and sheep and a lake. Fields and trees abound. I could wax lyrical about this place forever, it deserves a 6. The sleep quality was excellent, quiet with no sounds from other rooms. Breakfast in the main house with John in attendance, what a great guy, good fun, interesting to talk to. Breakfast was super, cereals, choice of breads, home made jams and marmalades, fruit, yoghurt and muesli, ample for anyone, but you can have cooked for a very small extra charge if required. We met some lovely people and had a good laugh,it felt very much like home. I would thoroughly recommend you stay here, and John and Barbara had been to Torquay in England where I was born, what more can you ask. Top Notch.

There were lots of great things about this place, and at the same time it's the strangest place I have stayed in! First the great things - immaculate, amazing bed and super amazing shower. Large room, All of that was perfect. Then the not so great - nothing in the room to read about where to go for food, whether any place might deliver, wanted to order breakfast and it didn't seem to be an option. Ended up googling, then not finding the place I was looking for in Mosgiel (maybe it's shut down? It was all dark) so was happy to find Countdown and a soup for dinner with some food for breakfast. Then the terrible - they say they are contactless, which is all fine in this new world. I didn't know this before I came. As a result I didn't see a soul and as a traveller from out of town who was on her own I felt a little unsafe at having no contact with anyone (even at a distance would have been OK!). It felt a bit post-apocalyptic. I was wondering if they are scared to see people! This is New Zealand and there is no COVID in the community, so it seemed a bit over the top. I had trouble locking the door (it's a European lock and the instructions weren't enough for me), so went looking for help. Rang the door bell. No reply (there was a car outside and the lights were on). Then saw a notice saying I should phone. Did that and the recorded message said no one was available to talk to me Then got a text saying ”Please text me”, did that saying I can't lock the door. No reply. I texted again asking if someone could please help me. Then I got a text back with better instructions which worked. That was the sum contact I had. If I had a serious problem would anyone have helped me? I didn't feel safe, as it felt like there was no one who would help out at all. In this regard I found the place quite unwelcoming. If they had reading material in the room with helpful info and including some warm and welcoming words, and so I could know that someone was there and actually cared, it would have helped a lot. I would have been quite happy not to see anyone, but to know they were there in the event of an emergency. So the summary - this was the most comfortable place I have stayed in for a long time. But as a single female traveller who needed some help with the room and a pointer as to where to get food on a winters night, I didn't feel safe.
