Very helpful staff. When I called to advise I would be late, there was no issue. On arrival I was advised I had been put into a different room - to move me away from a noisy group. When I checked out, the owner asked if I had been bothered by any noise. I failed to pack everything, so the owner called me and held my items until I was able to pick them up later that day. I've stayed there before and was happy to stay again, I anticipate I will stay again in the future. Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff.

Stayed at Bucket Tree Lodge in Wellington recently. The room was tidy and comfortable, but cleanliness was just above average. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I liked that it had a kitchen setup. The only downside was the noise from the nearby railway tracks, which can be a bit distracting at night. Overall, it’s a convenient and welcoming spot, especially if you’re travelling or need a short-term stay.
