AldythNew ZealandBreakfast in the morning.
Unable to have a meal as it was booked for private function. My husband said the bed was damp & too firm. Plus no TV in room.
DonnaNew ZealandRelaxing
Jess and her team were warm and welcoming. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed a delicious dinner paired with good wine.
AndreaNOSehr schönes Hotel in einem kleinen ruhigen Ort.
Frühstück kann man im angrenzenden Café kaufen. Wenn das Café sehr gut besucht ist, muss man mit einer längeren Wartezeit rechnen.

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Waitaki Braids
What time is check-in and check-out at Waitaki Braids?
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 Waitaki Braids allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Waitaki Braids?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Waitaki Braids?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Waitaki Braids have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Waitaki Braids 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 Waitaki Braids?
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.
