Disappointed
Nothing but a run down motel. Got to room windows open and had to kill at least 10 flies. Rooms needed repair and painting. Stayed in 10 hotels, B&B’s and motels on the South Island and this was by far the worst. Do not recommend. Front desk not very friendly either.

Very comfortable stay
Just a quick family stay but very comfortable and good location. There are steps up to a mezzanine level so our room would have actually slept 5. Recommend.

Good location but room needs some updating
Excellent location with a large grocery store right across the street. The kitchen was nicely appointed but the room was a bit tired. Small shower.
