First time arrived the experience and service were excellent by the two girls which were friendly and cheerful. Next morning because my daughter couldn’t sleep well and had a hard time waking her and we reached the breakfast restaurant before 10am the manager locked the restaurant door. Started moving our luggage and almost done by 10.30am the manager calling chased us to check out lol! Come on late by 30min you want to charge us $25 ???   Is not like you have guest waiting in the lobby to checking and your hotel rooms are full. The staff service saved the rating if not I will give 1 star rating. The manager service was bad and the impression he gave I thought he owned the hotel that’s why have this kind of attitude. Even if you are business owner shouldn’t you give better service to improve and grow your business.

First time encounter manager chasing me to checkout

We open the door to our villa, walked through the warm lounge to a balcony where we enjoyed views of the river and scenic valley. There was plenty of room to relax and spread out, and everything was clean and to be expected. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. We had breakfast delivered to the room to help with our early morning start. The evening meal at the Crafty Moa was sensational - at the time of booking the room we were also advised to reserve a table for dinner - suggest you check with the staff in case this is still the case.

Warm, cozy, clean. Perfect for a stopover.

The hotel is in the middle of Arthur's pass. Room was modern and clean and well equipped.
Free continental breakfast was provided but was very disappointing. Yoghurt was starting to ferment and some slices of bread were mouldy.
Due to its rural location they had to provide and option for breakfast, but it felt like they were trying to do it as cheaply as possible and it spoilt the overall experience at what was otherwise a lovely hotel.

Disappointing breakfast

There was an extra special mountain and braided river view from our comfortable clean room with nice decor.
We had a good pub meal with excellent frendly service and then enjoyed the complimentary breakfast in the morning.
I Would definitely recommend staying here.

Friendly team

A great location if you are looking for somewhere to stay along the beautiful journey between Christchurch and Greymouth. We stayed for one night, in room 1 which also has a spa pool. The room was very spacious and comfortable and well furnished - nice shower and bathroom too. Fabulous views. 
Breakfast is continental style - I wouldn’t describe it as the hotels best feature but it’s perfectly acceptable to set you up for the day ahead.  Evening meal was included in our booking - that was delicious- we just loved the fruit crumble dessert! 
There are a number of signs around the hotel advising about staff shortage and being kind and respectful to the staff on duty. Such a shame this is necessary - we felt very well looked after by the team at The Bealey and send our thanks and best wishes to all. 

Great stopover - marvellous views 

Stayed here 2 nights on our trip to Arthur’s Pass. Spacious parking possibility. We have booked the superior Villa suite. It is Simple furnished (with 2 sitting corners, a small dining for 4, tv, comfy bed)  but very clean and tidy. Additional terrace attached to the narrow terrace with a jacuzzi overlooking an amazing view. Bathroom is located at the hallway. Good shower. 

What we love the most is the view of the mountains around us while relaxing in the prewarmed jacuzzi bath outside after spending the whole day exploring the area (don’t know exactly if the previous guests had left the tub on or if the lodge staffs have kept maintaining the ready warm bath for the guests to plunge in anytime). 

Luckily we stayed there on the days when the restaurant was opened,  no need to venture out for another option. We had breakfast on both days of our stays and a dinner. Breakfast is quite simple. Dinner is good. One of the waiter is very friendly, an Indian guy. Probably because we only met the rest of the staffs during breakfast time, and most of the time they are standing behind the bar, busy with all kind of tasks, we felt a tad lack of guest hospitality. 

A good choice to stay on your trip to Arthur’s pass village, which is a few minutes away  (approx, 5 -10 minutes) .

Good accomodation not far from Arthur’s Pass village

Hotel location and accommodation is wonderful, service and personal attention was great in spite of severe staff shortage. We felt welcome guests in all aspects. Views from the room and from dining room are magnificent. 

Great experience while staying in this hotel 

The journey across the Southern Alps is already indescribable in its beauty, majesty and isolation. Imagine then coming across this oasis right in the middle of the journey - miles from anywhere, a welcoming, friendly beacon right on the flood plain of the Waimakiriri River with views that simply take your breath away.
Travelling between Kaikoura and Franz Josef, we decided to spend New Year’s Eve here and we’re so glad we did. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, despite the fact that the hotel, like most, is still recovering from the post-Covid staffing crisis and are stretched thin. We stayed in Villa 2 and had stupendous views over the valley, with a small balcony from which to enjoy them. The villa was spotless and very well equipped with a super-comfortable double bed, 2 singles and a sofa bed. There’s also a small kitchenette for those who wish to self-cater.
We ate our NYE dinner in the restaurant. Service was spectacular and the food - well! My partner had the local loin of lamb and it melted in the mouth. I went simple and had the hoki and chips, but this was no ordinary fish - whoever made the batter and fried it, stand up and take a bow, because you, my friend, are an artist worthy of a Michelin star. It was the lightest, crispiest batter I’ve ever had and the fish was just perfect - sweet, juicy and utterly delicious. Great food doesn’t need to be pretentious and this was a masterclass on how to get it right.
On the menu there’s an option to spend $20 to buy the staff a drink - I encourage you to make use of it because these guys are doing a really great job in trying circumstances and they deserve it.
Summary: if you’re travelling that way in NZ, make a detour if necessary and stay at the Bealey - it’ll be an experience that stays with you for a ling time.

Wow!

Spacious suite with fabulous view of the river, valley and mountains. Spotlessly clean and excellent WiFi. We ate a good meal in the restaurant and continental breakfast was included. Food was all fresh and plentiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very highly recommended.

An excellent experience

We stayed at the Bealey Hotel in Arthur’s Pass September 2022 and can highly recommend this Hotel. The views are exceptional, the rooms are great; very clean and offer everything you need . 
We stayed in the spa villa . The spa was awesome and had the best views across the valley and snow capped mountains during the day and stars by night . 
The food in the restaurant is delicious and they also have a really nice buffet breakfast. The restaurant/bar also has great views. Thanks to Matty, Kirsty and staff 👍
