Hawkdun Lodge
About
Hawkdun Lodge in South Island places guests at 1 Bute Street in Ranfurly 9223, a small settlement on the island. The lodge takes the form of a motel, giving visitors a base in the rural heart of the island rather than in one of its larger centres.
Travellers consistently leave strong feedback, with the motel holding a 4.7 out of 5 average across 177 reviews. Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura all sit within reach for onward travel. The motel's website, http://www.hawkdunlodge.co.nz/, gives a further point of reference for the property.
Ranfurly sits inland, so a car makes light work of the surrounding roads and the drive toward the bigger towns. English is the everyday language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear on signs throughout the country.
First-time visitors should settle in for a quiet rural stay, with the plains and nearby ranges shaping the pace of a visit. The motel suits travellers breaking a longer South Island journey rather than those wanting a town-centre address.
