    Nice clean room. Good shower. The staff were great and accommodated us for a late check in as we were coming from visiting Aoraki/Mt. Cook. I would stay here again. This was the perfect in between stop for us on the way to Christchurch.

    I loved that the room was warm on arrival and the owners took the trouble to turn the heat pump on for us while we were out for the day as well. I enjoyed the cosy rooms and comfy beds. What a treat for a very reasonable price!
