"Pros: clean, comfortable, private, nice landscaping. Cons: none Really it's an apartment with a kitchenette. Great stay. Innkeeper accommodated or late arrival. Never encountered any of the staff. Probably our best stay (out of four) in New Zealand."

"Nice and homely motel. The family was friendly and helpful providing information on the town upon check in. Room was spacious and clean as well and we had a comfy night stay. The only downside was that there were some flies in the bathroom which we didn’t know came from where as all the windows were shut"
