More amenities than we expected which was a pleasant surprise. We also arrived earlier than expected and the staff were completely accommodating and ready to check us in early. We were very thankful after a long drive.

Although the room was small, it was well equipped with everything we needed. The common kitchen provided all the utensils, making it convenient for us to prepare meals. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the check-in process was smooth even though we arrived late. Overall, a comfortable stay

Friendly staff, very well-equipped kitchen and good communal facilities. My only complaint is that the en-suite sink was so small, and with a poorly positioned shelf above, that there wasn’t enough room to brush my teeth or wash my hands!

Above and beyond service and friendliness. Our host was exceptional at check in, providing a complimentary fresh warmed blueberry muffin for each traveler. Rooms were warm, clean & comfortable. Common area spacious, friendly, very well equipped, with complementary coffee, vegetable soup (home made!), popcorn. Full kitchen. Also a gym and spa available.
Our departure from the region was delayed, and we were allowed access to the common area after check out by the very generous host.
HIGHLY recommended.

Chill, relax and munch
This should be the best accommodation i stayed in NZ over the past 3 weeks.
Decors are great, they provide muffin, veg soup, coffee bean machines and even popcorn.
Netflix on tv to keep me entertained while having my meal and a hot tub to relax after many days of continuous walks and hiking.

Great location, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The onsite amenities in the shared kitchen were very nice. The rooms were a bit noisy but got quiet after 9 pm and the sinks are super tiny, otherwise it was a great choice for our two nights in the area.
