The Studholme - Waimate

A 'not obvious to find ' place behind a Fonterra milk processor but what a nice gem! This 116 year old hotel has just 6 rooms still with the air of being in 1916. Amenities and facilities are all modern of course. The bar and small dining area is contemporary, well done and comfortable. Local residents are keen to chat. There 's a place near but away from the bar for children to play. The management is relaxed and trusting. Super friendly helpful. For us, we enjoyed our one night in room 5 with a realy nice meal. Rural history of this calibre is to be savoured. Thanks Sam.

Had a great night, meal barmaid was awesome, Staff great. Great hotel will be back.
