4/5 - Good
Staying at Heartland Lodge was really the best for us. The proximity to Mt Cook is also ideal.

Quirky and fun place. The room was nice. Kitchen facilities were a little lacking but overall good. Bathroom was nice and clean.

Great place to sleep and drive to other attractions. The town itself didn’t have a lot to do, but it did have a decent sized shopping centre and restaurant hub. Staff cleaned room daily, and check in/out process was easy. Nice to have a kitchenette and private washroom in our room.

I liked the size of the backyard. Also liked the blackbirds and their beautiful song. Homely looking cabin. Could have had some dry towels, but managed to dry them on the Hill's hoist.

Nice small town with adequate services. Only downside - it goes to sleep early :-)
Shopping mall had most things you would need. Lots of food options for a small town.
I imagine it's a good base in winter but during spring I'd recommend Lake Tekapo or even Mt Cook.
