May 31, 2026Unfortunately the water in the shower for both mine and my cousins rooms would cut off after 10 seconds of running then you’d have to turn it in and off again to work. Needless to say shower was dreadful. Room itself good although the impression on website site for a family room was not what was presented ( it was just a normal room with a single bed out in it ) no milk : (

Aug 4, 2025Great place to stop overnight from ferry. The pet friendly room was comfortable clean newly renovated and quiet considering its SH1 location. We arrived after hours and the room was warmed and tv on for us which was very welcoming. Communication was great. Well priced. Highly recommend.

Jul 29, 2025Clean and Modern
Really clean and modern room. Only tiny error was we were given 2 towels and there were 3 people booked. Bar that I would totally stay again in summer when we can take advantage of the whole set up.

Mar 25, 2026Booked one of our drivers in here. What a beautiful beautiful place. In one of the new rooms, which was done to an extremely high standard. Beds were new, and very comfortable. Excellent location within an easy drive to Wellington.
We booked a room with a King Bed, but got placed in a room with 2 singles. Not ideal.
Unfortunately there must have been an event on, which generated a huge amount of noise, which lasted until after 1am. This only left a few hours before our Driver had to leave at 5am.
So all in all a load to love about this place, and we will definitely be using again. However hopefully we will receive the room we booked, and a quieter stay next time around.
Keep up the awesome work! :)

Nov 24, 2025Whilst this was one of the nicest and most comfortable rooms we stayed in in the area, the service was unfortunately very poor and unprofessional. There was no one at reception when we arrived in the afternoon, and no one was answering the phone number displayed outside reception to call if unattended. We called at least 10 times over a period of several hours and calls were ignored or declined. Eventually I got a response after texting the same number, just when we had started looking for alternative accommodation and got Expedia involved. They had apparently missed our reservation and weren't expecting any arrivals. Someone eventually came to let us in shortly after 21:30. There was very little in terms of an apology or any sort of service recovery after this incident, no communication. This would have otherwise been an excellent stay, however the service was unacceptable so I cannot recommend this.
