Centrally situated. Staff most helpful and great to deal with. Kitchen to make tea/coffee was good. Only downside it is a joint bathroom and toilet, but is still most convenient as close to bedrooms. ##### HELEN Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail 7 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very handy for what I needed it for ((a night couple of day's out of ChCh I would've stayed Monday if I didnt have prior commitments.

Comfortable as AND my friend's are interested I always share great awe how to say 🤔 experiences again thank you. Ah the booking was so easy ##### Gail Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig 13 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Brown Pub is the ideal location for a cost effective holiday. I've stayed here a number of times and keep coming back. Remember, it's a pub so it goes off like a frog in a sock on Friday and Saturday nights - so either be part of the celebrations or wear ear plugs !! The staff are sensational - going that extra mile even into the wee hours of the morning. The rooms are clean and warm, the kitchen is great, stacks of hot water in the showers... and the WiFi is faster than at home ! Everything you could possibly need for a short stay or a family holiday. I'll be back. ##### Craig Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Libby 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I thought this place was excellent value for money. It is in a great location right on the Main Street - walking distance to everything. Akthough our room was quite small and basic the bed was very comfortable ( and large) sheets were a crisp cotton and very clean. The kitchenette was well kitted out and having a living space and verandah was excellent although both were tired and the living space a little overstuffed with a mishmash of furniture . The decor was also a mishmash but pretty inoffensive. The bathroom was very clean . I would stay again and recommend to others. I have no comment on the food as we didn’t eat at the hotel. ##### Libby Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Blair 4 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good option cheap Accommodation, pub downstairs was quite noisy until close but was a Saturday night ##### Blair Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Donna 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very clean, great location for the hot pools nice food cleaners are lovely 😍 ##### Donna Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen 4 Oct 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Good place for one night ##### Helen Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just the job for a stopover...good pub kai too. ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 17 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was priced reasonably. Staff were GREAT ! We were the only ones staying so it felt like we have the entire upstairs to ourselves. Shower was fantastic. Nice decor.
