What a great experience.  Cosy, silent nights sleep after a top steak meal with a decent beer selection, all in front of the fireplace.  Parking right out front, so overall a nice stopover between Queenstown and Invercargill.   

Really nice food and accommodation

After a long old 13hr shift myself and my colleagues stopped by the Lumsden Hotel for food as it was the only place open. It was busy and we ordered food immediately. 55 starving minutes later we asked what the eta on the food was. There was a cranky couple stood next to us at the bar absolutely furious that they had been waiting 1.5hrs for their food for a party of 10 and it still hadn’t arrived. They had already decided to leave, hungry. With little to no sympathy from the staff we also got a refund and headed home where a jar of peanut butter and some riveted anxiously waited for us.

Will not be returning.

Forgot our order. Just did a 13hr shift. Went hungry. Dreadful service

Hi there everybody

Never judge a book by it cover 

We arrived at the Lumsden hotel it looks a bit rough at first 

However upon entry that changed

The helpful staff and owners is second to none they are friendly approachable and no barriers what so ever 

We take our hat off to the owners for giving it a go 

They have three children and running pub which in it self is amazing 

For all those people with kids would totally understand 

The dinner was 8!out of 10 and and to be honest showed up some places that we would of expected more of 

If you are after speedy service this is not the place but that is more than covered by the quality of what you receive when placed in front of you 

For all you aussies battlers out there give the Lumsden a go you will not be disappointed 

Once again I take my hat off to these guys for having a go 

Signing off the travelling Toby’s

Travelling Toby’s stay at the Lumsden hotel

Super delicious food !!!

We ordered pizza, fish burger and chicken teriyaki wings.. All 3 items were yummy with the wings were simply heavenly…

Rooms beauuuuutiful & aesthetically decorated…Spacious with positive vibe in every corner.

Highly
Recommended

Worth a stay !

We stopped on our way to Invercargill for some lunch and a cheeky pint pizzas were homemade and absolutely beautiful fully recommend if your passing through nice old pub with friendly staff will definitely come back 🙂

Beautiful

Stopped here in early February following the huge rain storm that closed the Milford road. Staff helpful under pressure, food good and huge.  Tasty tender steak and chips and camper vans can park opposite

Great place to stop in rain chaos

We had booked 2 rooms both en-suite. At the time of booking there was no mention of an event for this particular night and we were not told about it,
We had to find someone when we arrived and were told that our keys were in the rooms so were unlocked.
The rooms were clean but untidy with appliances on the main drawer units. There were complimentary tea and coffee crammed into a small jar. Considering the size of the rooms and the use of microwave, toaster and kettle it seemed strange that we couldn’t open a window and keep it open for ventilation.
We discovered very quickly that there was live music as the room vibrated with every drum beat. We had dinner at the hotel and the food was good, the band was good and seemed to finish about 9.30 which was great as we had an early start the next day unfortunately the band started up again and continued until 3am !!
Overall it was a warm uncomfortable night without much sleep.
We stayed in a few hotels during our road trip and this one was one of the most expensive and least enjoyable.

Never again

We booked the en-suite room 9 which was comfortable and mostly clean.  We had our own bath and shower with a view of the free campers across the road in the town park with the Railway cars.  We were able to park our bikes in back of the pub and check in early which was nice.  Had a delicious pizza in the hotel for dinner, with hand made dough and sauce. Service was good here, if somewhat disjointed. The only issue we had was noise from the trucks on the road at night as the hotel is right near a corner of two main highways. We would not want to stay on the nights the pub had events or bands, as it would be noisier, but we certainly found the hotel met our requirements and was a good stop over on the Around the Mountains Cycle Trail.

En-suite Room 9

As this is one of the oldest Hotels around built in 1875 we thought we'd book in. The building is old but comfortable and clean with shared bathrooms.
The staff are friendly and helpful. Plus looks like they do live bands sometimes and  do get a few people for the meals. We stayed for a drink and I enjoyed my  Beef Cheeks with mashed potato and salad.
Had a walk around the town as Hotel on the Main Road.
Found an outside laundromat which has
 recently just been built and noticed  this is
the town to stop at if freedom camping. 



Stop over 

I have been fortunate enough to have eaten in a lot of high quality restaurants and the one at the Lumsden hotel, The Pot Stock and Barrel, compared fabulously. If you want a stop over or a location that gives you central access to Queenstown, Te Anau, fishing, hiking or relaxing in this town supported by fine dining or regular pub food... What a place. They even have music nights at the pub, which is an eclectic mix of professional musicians and talented visitors from the freedom camping across the road. .. Good Times and thoroughly recommend
