We had a late check-in and the staff was very accomodating. The unit was large although a little dated. Good size for family since it had an extra bed. Nice little kitchen area.

Room was tidy & comfortable. Newly built 3 years so clean & tidy with a large shower cubicle. Rural outlook as we were in Central Hawkes Bay. Friendly front counter staff Harvinder also helpful. Didn't get to use the swimming pool as we were travelling. Maybe next time.

I love this place. for a small town property, this place is great. Penny is lovely, great us with a smile. We cane early and the room is ready. We booked the smallest room but we are definitely satisfied. It has everything we needed, clean, high ceiling, good size room and bathroom and it's very well maintained. Definitely will stay here again

Suffice to say that the room was more than adequate for the needs of my wife and I. It was clean and tidy and room 10 was far enough that we didn't hear any noise from the road. Thanks for the opportunity to stay at your establishment.
