Such a lovely place to stay. When we arrived we were given a couple bottles of beer which was much appreciated after the drive from Auckland. We had the two bedroom unit which was perfect for our family of four with a 12 year old and 16 year old. Bedrooms are compact but the living space didn’t feel cramped. Would definitely stay again as the staff were friendly, it was quiet, modern and clean
