Guest Comments

See what guests have been saying about Blackball's Inn and 08 Cafe.

"We stayed here prior to starting the Paparoa Track and we are so glad we did. Nick (proprietor) was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating to our request for space to prep our hiking food. Our room and the separate bathrooms/shower were spotless, and the bed was really comfortable. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner - can recommend the bangers & mash (with locally made Blackball sausages) and the curry, and the included continental breakfast had a nice range of choices. The value of money was outstanding, possibility the best we have experienced in New Zealand. Highly recommended"

"You must go there. Lovely joyful people. Very clean and food is to die for. There was 5 of us all different orders and everyone said the same. Just lovely"

"Great place to stay! We stayed one night. Really friendly locals. Great Staff. Great meals. Great beer. Great bed. Great showers. I will go back and stay because there is so much history in Blackball - one night sure ain't enough time to see everything. I do recommend the Blackball Inn as a place to stay. Keep up the great service you have. Many thanks from the three Stewart Brothers. We were there tramping the Paparoa Track."
