Excellent location. Bed was very comfortable. The room was clean. The toilettries were of nice quality and contributing to a charitable cause. I appreciate that. Due to our schedule, we did not try the restaurant. Overall, we were very happy and had no issues.

6.8/10 (18 reviews)
For a budget hotel, I found myself having the most comfortable sleep in any of the hotels I stayed at in New Zealand! The rooms were super small without TV and en-suite bathroom, but I didn't expect it given this is 1 of only 2 remaining original continuosly ran hotels in the town.
