   Our dinner experience was excellent. Staying here at the Bealey Hotel was the way to go. Staff were experienced and efficient and since the place was only about 80% full, it was timely service but very relaxed. Cocktails menu was limited but our two choices were good, the margarita and the old fashioned. We had the chicken main course and the lamb. Both were good and the lamb was outstanding. For a very isolated Hotel location, it was on point.

    We booked for my 77th birthday dinner on Saturday 7 Dec. at 6 pm. We arrived at Bealey Hotel only to find it closed due to the wildfire powercut. While we understand the fully valid reason for closure, we were very disappointed in the lack of communication as we were left without any option of celebrating the occasion or having a nice meal after a long walk along the Waimak River.
