Graceland B&B

This is one of the best B&B in NZ. The comfy accommodation and the food and drinks provided by the best hosts make our stop here even more enjoyable . The two close rivers makes a great time to fish or swim. The local cafe down the road hosts for a cold drink after a full day of activities. Thank you Graceland B&B we will be back .

Just what we wanted! Great friendly people. Clean, sensibly priced and more than we'd been used to in out of the way places. Certainly it is in a small village where there are mnimal other facilities, so we were appreciative of their provisions and extras they provided. Loved their wee dog!

We needed a place to stay in between Te Anau and Wanaka. Gracelands B&B in Athol seemed like a good choice. This was a big mistake. First, the price was way too high for what you get, which is a loft in what appears to be a converted shed. Second, the facilities were totally inadequate. The place has enough beds to sleep four people but there was just one easy chair and two stools. Even for us, two people, this was inadequate. It is laughable that they describe the place as having a "sitting area" and a "dining area". It seems that the sitting area is the floor. Since there is no table, I guess the floor doubles up as the dining area. For breakfast we were provided with two slices of bread; that is, one each. It wasn't even decent bakery bread. Now I expect that the owners will say that we should have asked for more bread. While we were at it we should have asked for more chairs and a dining table.
