Visit was to brief to have an opinion. We only spent 9hrs there. It seems a good base for lots of scenic activities.

8.6/10 Excellent! (164 reviews)
We had a great stay. The room was modest, as expected, and very clean. The gentleman at the front desk was very welcoming and helped us get set up with the laundry. There was fresh milk in our fridge for coffee - a nice surprise.

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
Cute place to stay
Nice place to stay for the night, -- mind your head when you are upstairs. A shame that it's not facing west to take advantage of the evening sun. Even so, very warm -- the fan was definitely needed.

4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
It has a real kiwi small town feel. There are a few hidden gems that you will have to vist to discover for yourselves. The locals know and if you ask nicely they may share a few with you. The bakeries are where sugary dreams come true.....YUM
