Great location and staff. For the cheap price the room was really good! Everything was really clean and tidy for an older hotel. We were pleasantly surprised and would definitely stay again. Pub grub yummy, the garlic mash was so creamy and tasty. I could have just had a plate of that.

Not the best place to stay.. Lots of stain on the carpets.. Room wasn't cleaned enough.. lots of Spider webs on the walls and dirt on the carpets.. TV had only one channel to watch and it is the Horse Racing channel which is the same in the bar/restaurant downstairs for the TAB gambling channel.. Key pick up and drop off service was alright from the front office.. warmly welcomed and present.. other than that can't recommend the facility.. paid only $90 for the stay though.. read the old reviews before booking and still booked as it was a last minute booking and couldn't find anywhere else.. so can't complain much.. 😕 my bad as well..

Nope. I've had terrible experience from this place last night (21/03/2023), and this was my 2nd visit eating there. Both times I spent over $62 plus on the food. Ordered scallops and they weren't cooked through. Fish and egg burger was yuk. Batter around fish was awful. Chips were either over cooked or under cooked. But one good thing for the night was the curly fries were yum as. I've never had to do a review before but enough is enough. You hear people praise about the food here so thought I'd give it another chance. Bad decision. I will never go back there again now. I give a rating out of 10, Zero. Oh, by the way staff behind the bar was awesome. Her customer service was on point??'?🏻

We stayed here for the night and it was a low cost hotel like a backpackers ! For the price it was good! We asked about what the roast was for dinner and they said we did not know! We said it was on the menu in the rooms! And we asked about the breakfast menu and they said there was nothing! We said in the rooms that the menu said there was breakfast! The lady said they have no chef ??'?‍🍳 until Wednesday! ❤️

The worst place on Earth. I called to book a room and I clearly stated that I would reach at 10:30pm and they told me it was okay and to call on arrival so that someone would open me. I called and no one answered, I kept calling for like 10 times but still no answer. They went to sleep and left me out in the middle of the night in a small village where there were no other options since it was all fully booked. What a bad place, they cannot even keep their word. I highly not recommend you to book here because they could leave you out with no notice and you need to sleep in the street. Moreover, from outside it looks like an horror movie place with all the windows open, I would have even be scared to sleep there so maybe better that I slept in my car.

This is to the owners of the Gretna Hotel, we stayed for 3 days at your hotel and your staff were so helpful, polite and welcoming and the locals so awesome to talk to, but unfortunately the rooms need a lot of attention we had to ask for towels, on the first day our cousins headboard fell off the wall and we had to fix it. There were cobwebs and dead flies on the windows and no TV channels at first we only had 2 channels that was sky rugby and the races on the first day the other 2 days we had no tv at all. There's no vents in the bathrooms so everything felt wet if we had a shower due to the steam from the shower. As for the Restaurant we had a hard time even booking a table as the cook/chef was unable to cook alot of meals and some customers were turned away due to staff shortage. Our stay was a pleasant one. We hope the next time we come back to Taihape there have been some renovations done mainl to the rooms, and you have more chefs in the restaurant.
Best of luck 🙂

An inexpensive place to stay when all you need is a place to put your head down and the food was really good

A real old cultural classic. The linen is spotless. Shared bathrooms are clean as are the rooms. The locals very friendly. But you dont stay here for the facilities.. not cute, not that comfy. Real basic. 3 stars for trying.

The staff here are amazing and super friendly. The locals in the bar were a great bunch of people. The food was incredible! I have literally never seen a steak that big before anywhere I have eaten. Definitely looking forward to my next visit.

This hotel is an old fashioned kiwi pub.
The single room was clean and tidy. Heater was in the room certainly required. Toilet and bathroom down the hall. Hot water took forever to come through.
The attached bar and restaurant was great. Friendly locals, great staff, roaring fire and very large meals.
Definitely I would stay here again

Amazing food.
Went for dinner with family from the south island. Everyone enjoyed their food, were very impressed with the food, the quality and the price.
Would go back and recommend to others.
We had a baby, who was catered for and she enjoyed her meal.
We had 2 x young children who enjoyed their meals.
Great family dining place
