Lovely old pub attached to the accommodation, which was real old time friendly pub. The accommodation was very poor, don’t think it has been updated since the 70s. Such a shame as it has a lot of potential. Very cold, tv was poor, and bed was very hard

Really good value for money. Ideally located for Heaphy track and Oparara Arches. The pub was great for a drink and dinner. Could do with an upgrade to the shower as it made the entire bathroom wet.
