The room is very spacious, clean, well equipped and the parking was easy. The place is well located in town so it's hard to miss, and many eating options nearby.

This is a very nice place to stay. Large rooms and very quiet. The only slight problem is that the shower doesn't have a shower curtain and there is no soap holder.

We spent 1 night at this property. If you overlook some small things like a broken sink, floors that are taped down and broken furniture , you’ll be just fine. It’s clean, friendly and close to the things we wanted to do. Not bad, just needs a little upkeep and maintenance. I would stay here again.

There is no mention on the site about the trains tracks that run directly behind the property.and the River view is more a creek which you couldnt really see because of the overgrown grass and trees. It was clean and had everything we needed for our one night stay. the bed was comfortable.

The young lady at the front desk was so cordial and most helpful. The rooms are cleaned very well, and as much as I travel I know what cleaned well is. Highly recommend this location if you’re traveling through beautiful New Zealand.
