Aardige gastvrouw. Tegenover de molen en het kolencafe/restaurant gelegen. Op 10 autominuten van het strand (waar je ook met de auto op mag rijden, voor de liefhebbers)

Cons:

Koelkast op de kamer maakt veel lawaai

Great value for money but don’t expect 5 star!
Pros:

Second time we have stayed which says something! Good location if you need to be in Foxton township. Lovely host (Marama). Good value.

Cons:

It’s basic and owners need to spend some serious $$$ to bring it up to par.

Disappointing
Pros:

It had a good bathroom and shower.

Cons:

The bed was very old and uncomfortable too soft and worn out in the middle. The lighting was very poor and room layout was wrong.

Didn't stay long
Pros:

We were stopping over on our way to the ferry so we only stayed around 4-5 hours. The bed was comfy and warm, heaps of power points in the room. I only used the shared bathroom once and it was fine but my partner used the shower and he was happy with the facilities. My partner said the view was amazing but I was already asleep at that point. We had parking assigned behind the property which was convenient.

Cons:

Not a lot we didn't like cus we only stayed for a few hours. Seems perfect for a short stay.
