Shingle Creek Hotel

I can't find much information about this hotel - the original was built in 1870 but this looks quite modern. I think they tried to sell it then gave up and now it just opens now and then. It's by itself in this mountainous territory with a fabulous view over the wild terrain.

Neat shot of it nestled in the hills! one wonders how much traffic passes by!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks really isolated! But it must be an interesting place to stay and visit. Very rugged terrain.

[Shari]

Looks like it is in the middle of no where.

This is a main road from Central to Dunedin on the coast, Katy and lots of traffic but no one wants to stay here now! @grammyn

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann It is really just a tavern now - a meeting place for farmers over a beer or two. But our driving and liquor regulations have cut down the isolated pub frequenters!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@maggiemae I guess people will drive a long ways to their favorite spot if they have to!

[Graeme Stevens]

Great shot and processing, like the muted colours

[Rick Schies]

What a great location, all alone out there

[Rosan]

Looks like a great place to escape for a while.

[Maggiemae]

@fntngrma I wish, Rosan - we would if we could - its only a tavern and doesn't have accommodation!

[Nick]

I really like the muted colours in this shot - they seem to highlight the hotel.

[Liana Bull]

Love your POV and those foreground rocks - you should tag it for the theme isolated object!

[Maggiemae]

@nickspicsnz I did that specifically, Nick - thanks for noticing - SC in a way!

[Maggiemae]

@kiwinanna Thanks Liana - it does look as if it fits!

[ShirleyB]

Lovely processing to bring out the tavern. Looks to be in a very picturesque area.

[8yearson]

That certainly would be getting away from it all!

[Peter Day]

Mind as you go

[Bep]

Nice place. Looks rather isolated.

[gloria jones]

Nice shot, perspective, textured hills

[Gena Pegg]

A great setting to "get away" I like your choice of processing. Would be interesting to see what they have to offer.

[Sally Ings]

I would think that the isolated setting and the landscape would be a draw card for this establishment.

[Delia]

You pov adds to the sense of isolation. Nicely done

[Ann Williams]

It really does look isolated and all those rocks make a really rough terrain. Great processing.

[Gillian]

What a pity it's not open all the time. Looks like it could be a great place to stay and explore.

[Daisy Miller]

good POV to show the isolation of this hotel.
