Parking OK. Location of reception difficult to find but once found, in the bar, ended up with a warm and guided tour to my room. Adequate sized room and after a little testing the necessary heating on a cold day, operated effectively. With a room at the front, overlooking the main SH 1, the windows could do with double glazing. The kitchen facilities worked after an explanation with most provisions for a continent breakfast in a central ‘kitchen’ then it was just ‘help yourselves’ and take to your room. Basic comment, I would stay again!

Mostly clean room. Bin hadn’t been emptied of a drink can and there was a ‘toffee pop’ biscuit under the chair. Shared bathroom which I didn’t think I was getting when I booked the room. Poor breakfast choices. Could not access the fire escape from the room as the window only opened about three inches. Frightening safety issue. The room booklet stated the restaurant was closed Monday and a Tuesday when in fact this was not true and had not been updated - I would not be surprised if people ate elsewhere as a consequence. One of the staff told me this was meant to be updated when the new owners took over last year but I thought this was a small detail which was sloppy and could lead to financial loss.

The only place to stay in the area!

A delightful hotel in a small NZ town. Great amenities nearby,, great room set ups (some with kettles, toasters etc). Loved the breakfast area of the hotel too, a great place to make toast/cereal if you’re up too early!

Be sure to visit the restaurant. The food is great. Check-in and check-out of the hotel is a little confusing with no on-site staff. Having posted instructions would help. The shared bathrooms and kitchenette are clean.
