A great stay!
A great, quirky stay in a beautiful part of New Zealand. Very comfortable bed and has all the facilities you would expect in a regular room.
Outside bathroom is not ideal when it’s cold and/or raining.

A great experience, glad we booked.
Unique place to stay, with a lovely valley view, and the hot tub, now on the veranda, was lovely! The bbq worked really well, keeping cooking outside the property.

Questions about Stella the Excella

What time is check-in and check-out at Stella the Excella?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Stella the Excella allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Stella the Excella have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Stella the Excella have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Stella the Excella?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
