Lovely room, great spa bath and comfortable bed. Easy walking distance to the city centre and very convenient for SH1 North and South. The only minus is the lack of any clothes storage in the room - no wardrobe or chest-of-drawers. Highly recommended for short-stays up to a few days. Would recommend for longer (we stayed 4 nights) if they sort out the storage - there is at least plenty of room for a few drawers.

We've stayed in plenty of motels, apartments and hotels in NZ this past month, most arentired or have seen better days. But this spot was clean, felt new and is easily one of our best stays. Thanks to all the team who help keep it nice and clean, you're doing an excellent job. Appreciated the airocn and Netflix too.

Room was a great size, clean and tidy, had everything we needed. Loved the two recliner arm chairs in the room, was great to be able to relax on comfortable chairs instead of having to sit or lay on the bed. The cleaning staff were friendly and the owner was very kind as well. She had a lemon tree at the front of the property and I asked to buy a few lemons but she wouldn’t accept any money and gave them for free which I really appreciated.
