Great spot to stay when doing Paparoa Track

“A comfortable warm place to stay.”

A great place to stay, the beds were very comfortable and the rooms warm. The meals were delicious and good value but there was no red meat dishes on the menu e.g steak. There was a good variety of items in the continental breakfast and plenty of it. There was 5 different spreads, 2 types of bread, 4 cereals, muesli, porridge and fresh fruit, plus tea, coffee and milo/hot chocolate and muffins. It is easy to find and plenty of parking.

Local, friendly staff.. lovely homely feel. Excellent meals.

It's location, it was tidy and clean. We thought the owners were friendly and helpful. Facilities were great.

“A good day and evening”

Breakfast was a simple muslie and toast the muslie was excelkent

“We had a really fun stay in Blackball. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and always available. We will definitely be”

The room was really big and had sliding doors on to a veranda with a table and chairs and a nice view onto the garden. They were also very accomodating with our dog which was great.

“A good overnight”

Pub at my front door

Great hosts and a very friendly community who engage you and make you feel welcome

“The listing advertised that breakfast is included. You might call a bowl of cornflakes a breakfast, but sorry, I don’t.”

Nice tidy room

“Loved this place, will be back here when I'm in the area”

Great country atmosphere, friendly staff, great food

“Comfortable stay where we were well looked after by our hosts”

We had evening meal with a family group at the Inn and was thoroughly impressed by the presentation and standard of cooking - way beyond what might be expected at a country pub - certainly not deep fried chips and salad with everything. The Chef came to our table and went through menu options with us leaving us with clear impression our dining experience was important to them. Staff looked after us well- we had arrived just after they had been fully booked and were the only guests stopping on the particular night of our stay

“great”

good friendly service

“This place is a gem, a mix of old world charm and modern comforts with incredibly welcoming staff.”

This place is full of character and has a real sense of history. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful as are the locals who like to stop for a chat. It's a mix of old work charm and modern facilities, very clean and tidy, beds very comfortable and although it's attached to an inn it's very peaceful. The food served at the inn is simple but very tasty and they certainly know how to make a good coffee :)

The accommodation: crisp, clean bedding in scrupulously clean rooms. The owners and staff: couldn't have been more helpful The regulars at the bar: fantastic people, such a laugh. The brisket burgers: delicious

Very good for gluten free food. Lots of choice for gf evening meal and breakfast included gf bread and two gf cereals.

“Start of Paparoa track”

Close to the start of the Paparoa trail track. Great staff, excellent food and friendly patrons. Massive room, comfy bed. Enjoyed our brief stay

“We’ll be back to this sweet little town on the rise hopefully”

The easygoing feel of the Blackball Inn and the super friendly people of Blackball. We highly recommend a stay at the Inn and a visit to Blackball.
