Always enjoyed our stay here and its perfectly situated close to alot of outdoor activities and towns.
Our unit has recently been renovated (the whole site has been) and absolutely loved it with dishwasher, huge shower and washing machine/dyer 💚💛
As a single elderly traveller I felt safe and comfortable. Excellent room layout and bathroom. The bed and pillows were top quality. A great experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Loved our stay. Clean place in the backdrop of a mountain
Great break from the camper car - this hotel has all the mod cons - super clean, comfy bed, hot shower, good water pressure, cable tv, plunger coffee, washer and dryer in room, full fridge, stovetop, pretty views. I feel very refreshed and ready to sleep in the car again
This was a nice motel, rooms were clean and spacious enough for our needs (i.e., mostly sleeping, we were out exploring during the day). Owners are on site and all the staff were super friendly and helpful. An easy drive to Mt. Cook and walking distance to several restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!
Well-appointed, clean room in a convenient location close to dining, cafe and bar options. Friendly staff.
Would have liked bedside lights with switches on both sides of the bed and some tissues.
We stayed here for one night en route from Dunedin before doing Mount Cook the next day. We have been in NZ for over a month now and I must say that this stay ranks amongst the best motels we've stayed in. The room was v clean, comfy bed, well equipped, great shower.
Excellent soundproofing, excellent shower, excellent washing machine and an easy run to and from Aoraki Mt Cook. Would definitely stay again when exploring more trails and sights in this area.
This was the perfect place to stay after several days hiking around the South Island of NZ. The washing machine and dryer were an added bonus as I was able to do a load of laundry after being on the road for a week.
The studio room had everything we required as a great place to stop off for an overnight stay. The centrally located motel gave us easy access to restaurants and car charging.
The Sierra is a family operation.
It shows.
Beautifully done, spotless and roomy with a quiet patio.
Friendly staff.
Could not have been happier.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
