Interesting little town (village), with a pub having the hard antler bar. Our midday meal there was good. We did not explore the town.
The Heartland Hotel, where we stayed overnight, is bit out of town, and is a self-contained pub/motel.

We didn’t go into the town of Haast, but were just outside, on the road to Jackson Bay. After the crowds and bustle of other towns, Haast Beach was a welcome change. If you like expansive, empty beaches, with great walkability and rock collecting, this is the experience for you.

A lovely small town on the edge of the Mt Aspiring National Park that was a great gateway to all this area has to offer for walking, biking and just enjoying the scenery. Good choices for restaurants, close to a beach and a very neat inviting town.

Not many tourists stop here.
Not many tourists stop here. The Visitors Centre is amazing with a brilliant interpretative display. The drive to Jackson Bay is well worth making the time for to explore the wild Southland areas. Highly recommend the Heartland Hotel for dinner.

Great value for money, great room and very good wifi.
Great value for money, great room and very good wifi. Restaurant on-site excellent. But no kitchen in room, no toaster, no fridge in room (shared fridge in hallway), makes it difficult to have breakfast in your room.

It was a great base to check out South Westland from.
It was a great base to check out South Westland from. We found lots more walks we could have done if we had more days there. Great drive up to Franz Josef and back in a day. The history and geography are amazing. Stunning scenery.

Haast is a small town and the motel is located on the outskirts to town, a few minutes drive into the centre. Check-in was straightforward. The unit had a undercover car-parking
the room was basic but clean and comfortable, cooking facilities were adequate
My stay was for 1 night only as a pass through place on an Island tour
staff were very helpful and immediately responded to any concerns

Haast Beach Motel is around 3 miles from the township so you need to drive if you need food. The beach is only 100 metres away and is spectacular BUT THE SAND FLIES ruin any holiday along this stretch of coast. We didn't find an insect repellent that was effective against them

The motel is located between Haast Beach and Jacksons Bay so you can drive to the latter in about 30 minutes to see the sunset and/or do the Ocean Beach walk. It is near the Hapuka Estuary Walk. It is also dog-friendly.

Nice room, comfortable and clean, and great meals and drinks at the hotel. Make sure you take a road trip out to Jackson Bay and the Craypot - a stunning and beautifully peaceful place off the beaten tourist track
