Gretna Hotel

Initial Service was friendly when entering. We ordered Steaks, Burgers & kids meal and all were served hot, delicious and well presented. Chef of the night was very kind and friendly, we’d eat her food again. Enjoyed the music and quiet atmosphere. Thank you 😋

A break in our journey stopped us mid way in Taihape. The room rate is very good. The room was cosy with the heater, The bed comfortable and the shower and toilets across the hall were very clean. We had a couple of drinks in the bar and talked to a few locals too. A very friendly bunch of folks and the bar prices are very realistic compared to many city hotels. The roast of the day was on the restaurant menu and very tasty. Overall, we'd stay there again.

A very warm welcome on arrival by staff who bent over backwards to make our stay a great time. The rooms are so very affordable and - while basic - are spotlessly clean and have a certain dated charm to them. Bed was comfortable and the heating was very effective on a cold winter's night. We got an ensuite room for only a few $$ more so we didn't have to trapse down the hall to the shared bathrooms. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room but a shared kitchen down the hall did the trick. The restaurant and bar are a fun time. Old-school vibe. Locals and staff alike made us so welcome. The restaurant staff were so attentive and focused on making our experience a good one. Instantly fixed a wee hiccup with the meal and checked we were ok with the music volume etc. We felt very pampered. The perfect stopover for a couple of weary travellers :-)

My room was basci but very clean and surprisingly quiet. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The bar menu was pretty basic but I did enjoy my burger. I'd recommend the Gretna for an overnight stay.
