Positive: We very much enjoyed our stay at Owen River Tavern. Whilst in a remote area, we liked the peace of it. The owners Kim and John were wonderful and welcoming - plus they make an amazing Chinese dinner! Highly recommended! Thank you Kim and John for being so hospitable. We will be back to stay again next time we’re in the South Island.
Summary: A warm, cosy tavern with the best Chinese food in the South!

Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: A good location to stop over on a long drive to Christchurch. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Negative: There were a lot of bees around which were particularly attracted to our blue car making it difficult to get in and out of it. Also lots of fruit flies coming into the room - lots of evidence of them squashed on the walls. The kitchenette was tiny with no sink - impossible to make a decent meal. No hairdryer.
Summary: Okay for one night due to its convenient location.

Negative: Pillows and mattress too soft and uncomfortable. Tv should be wall mounted not on top of a high cupboard. Difficult to watch. Otherwise for a brief overnight it was ok.
