Clean property, though worn around the edges.
Great accommodating staff.

Although our room was not perfect the host went out of his way to resolve the issue. The dining room was good, you could make a basic meal. Please note that the premises is an old pub and doesn't have the modern facilities of a newer establishment. It suited us but not everybody.
The difference between male and female toilets from certain approaches was not obvious for first time users.

The Gladstone is in a good location for visiting Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook. The village of Fairlie is quiet but quaint with nice cafes and a supermarket.
The reviews of the Gladstone don’t lie. It’s a bit grim. The building has such potential and is quite attractive from the outside but the inside is very unloved and rundown. It needs a complete overhaul. But it’s cheap and clean.
