Pros:

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

Perfect place for us to stay before heading to the Heaphy Track.
Pros:

This place suited us perfectly. We arrived late but that was not a problem the staff were so easy to deal with when our plans changed. Very clean and the heaters were on for our late arrival. Fantastic
