Heartland Hotel Haast

The bed was fine and room overall was comfortable. The staff were exceptionally gracious and friendly. We wanted a large salad for dinner and noticed it wasn't on offer in the restaurant. The restaurant staffer asked the cook if he could make a large salad with chicken, and after some negotiation, he agreed. The salad was fresh and the chicken pieces well-seasoned and hot. Unfortunately, the only dressing they had (and I asked for something different) was a mayo/ketchup mixture passed off as thousand island. Again, the staff everywhere were exceptionally gracious and friendly!

Location suited us very well for our one night stop. The area is stunning. The staff were welcoming (and hardworking). The two rooms we had were clean and comfortable. The shower was good, and toiletries and hospitality tray all fine. We were able to park outside one of our rooms, and we could reach the second room via an internal corridor. Impressed with the lively restaurant and bar with both visitors and locals using it. Food was great. Breakfast was buffet with a nice selection of cooked and cold food. There is not a great deal in Haast so it is advisable to take advantage of the restaurant and order breakfast in advance for a better deal.

Haast is only a small town and the Heartland was well placed with fantastic views all around. It was comfortable and cosy and had the bonus of breakfast included, which included comprehensive cold items, danishes, and anything off their long list of hot items. The poached eggs were great. We also had dinner in the on-site restaurant, which was very tasty, and the bonus of a huge open fire keeping us warm. The room was comfortable and well appointed. Recommended

Comfortable place. Had 1 double bed and 1 single bed. Lovely shower with easy to adjust water temperature. There is a Salmon farm & cafe abt 30 minutes drive away. Must visit for salmon enthusiast, fresh and tasty. South Westland Salmon. Contact Bec 03 5751 0837.

We enjoyed our stay at Heartland Hotel. The room was very clean and warm and the bed comfy. They also have a restaurant attached for guests use. The receptionist was lovely and thoughtful. She had automatically changed the room we had initially booked when she saw that I required a stick to walk. (Apparently the initial room did not have parking outside it.) New room had parking outside the room and lovely farmland views. We are happy to recommend this hotel.
