We were received by an old New Zealand lady who was very unfriendly. She must have been dissatisfied with the previous Chinese guests. The old lady’s English pronunciation was not accurate. She pronounced milk as mulk. We didn’t understand it at all. She slapped the table at us. , they all say that New Zealand’s service industry is very good, but I have personally experienced that it is much worse than China’s service industry.

旅館就在路邊，很容易找到，停車方便，就觀小企鵝歸巢的地方好近。如果不介意路邊噪音大的話，趕路途中休息，可以選擇。

Stayed one night. Room was spacious with a very 1970 decor, really can do with updating. Owner was very friendly, car parking no problem. Very central, restaurants nearby. Slept very well, in general it was very good value for money. Classic car convention in town was a nice bonus

The room was clean and tidy, there was everything we needed in the room. Only downside was there were roadworks directly in front of the room at the time of the visit (they stopped by 8.00pm so didn't affect us too much)and due to general traffic noise it would have been hard to sleep in if we hadn't needed to get up early.

We were near the beach and able to walk to the botanical gardens. We stopped to eat on the way back. Room was spotlessly clean. Bed was very comfortable. Good facilities.

Beautiful property. Good and adequate amenities. Very comfortable except for drainage in the shower. Feel as though you’re wading in water because of slow drainage.

Very run down property. The Lady was very snappy. Was clean and beds were comfy.
Right on the highway and limited parking.
