The rooms are individual lodges. Ours was quite small but fine for one night. Lynette was very friendly and helpful, offering suggestions for dinner and other things to do. There were lots of small touches that we appreciated, and a lovely continental breakfast.

We spent 1 night here as we toured the caves in the area. The proprietors were very friendly and chatty, and happy to give us advice about things to do in the area. Breakfast was delicious, the room was comfortable. Definitely would recommend.

Lovely hosts who helped us with our luggage and were helpful with information about the area. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable, and having Netflix was a nice bonus. Continental style breakfast was perfect with ample choices available. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Lyn was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Lovely quiet, peaceful space. Only one issue initially was the room could have been aired prior to my arrival as it had a slight musty smell. Easily fixed though with window open a little. However I do acknowledge that due to the rainy weather airing the room could have been difficult. I would definitely recommend this property.

Richy and Lyn were amazing and kind people. They welcomed us into their home, told us about their town, and took an interest in our lives. The room was extremely clean and the book of menus & suggestions was phenomenal. Best experience we had in New Zealand!
