To be fair, we only stayed overnight and didn’t realise the lovely location so close to the waterfalls, until we had checked out and went to explore. Haruru Falls are a must-see.

Stop near the falls

It’s right next to haruru falls. The room was comfortable with its own bathroom. We used the kitchen and had dinner and breakfast outside. It’s close to Paihia if you have a car

Low cost, budget accommodation. Bedding was comfy enough, bathroom clean and tidy and new carpets, but otherwise needing a fair bit of TLC. Fine if you’re not intending to do much more than sleep and shower. Otherwise you might want to up the budget.

Adequate for our needs. A comfortable clean bed, great shower, clean toilet. Unexpected mini fridge and kettle in the room. We chose this place because it offered air conditioning and we were not disappointed. The towels were a bit like sandpaper though. Great for exfoliation! Our host was lively and helpful and welcoming.

We really liked the property. Our room was meticulously clean with linen ready for us. Security was good- we used the communal eating and cooking areas and everyone we encountered was friendly and the area was kept clean by users. Lovely to have a cold one on the deck overlooking the river

Simple and clean room

We arrived at night, but friendly staff coped. The room was simple, and clean. Please pay attention to find the entrance to the site of the accommodation. Parking space was wide. A toothbrush and shampoo and body soap are provided, and there is the refrigerator.
