Great Location. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable and shower was great although door didn’t shut properly but not a biggie. Room was toasty warm. Restaurant was great for dinner and the continental breakfast was everything you need.

The place needs a bit of repair which is a pity as it is such a great location.
Pros:

The location is great. The bed was very comfortable and the room was warm.

Cons:

The paint was chipped and rough, there were mould stains on the ceiling in the bathroom and the framing of the shower was coming off.

Pros:

Le personnel très sympathique
Lit confortable
Le sèche cheveux et boule quies dans la table de nuit c'est top

Cons:

La salle de bain est vraiment à revoir entre l'eau qui coule avec peu de pression et le fait qu'elle n'est pas du tout isolé la température est la même que dehors je me suis gelée les meules

We stayed just the one night. Location was great, price was reasonable and we were well satisfied.
Pros:

the rooms were small but warm, clean and tidy. Showers were good and the dining room was great. We still talk about the kumara chips and how sweet and crisp they were.

Cons:

Nothing to say here.
