Příjemné ubytování a dobrý výchozí bod na Heaphy trek a Oparara River.
Pros:

Vsechno bylo perfektně čisté a pohodlné. Mašli jsme vše co jsme potřebovali. Prádelnu, kuchyň a restauraci na miste s dobrým jídlem. Perfektní místo kde se dát dohromady po treku.

Cons:

Zařízení bylo trochu retro ale vše ve výborném stavu a dobre udržované

Nothing.

Well worth the trip over the hills - glad we stayed 3 nights for exploring this amazing part of NZ.
Pros:

Great base for exploring the area. Comfy bed and good to be able to use the communal kitchen.

Cons:

A little freezer in the fridge would have been good but could use the communal kitchen one.

Very welcoming & friendly. Bar/café was very comfortable with a good selection of food and drinks. Although shower and bathroom facilities were shared, they were spotlessly clean. Nice lounge with cooking facilities and tea/coffee.

Cons:

Bed was a bit uncomfortable.
