"The accommodation was clean and tidy. The food in the restaurant was very average for $59 per head.
Wasn't a very good selection. What they had was more Indian tastes.
Would like to see more local māori culture within the work environment."

"The location is good, just off the coast, and it feels good to walk up the shore during the day and night. The room facilities are very complete, there are stoves and pans, you can cook for yourself. The towel is not clean, overall is very good"
"It's very convenient by the sea. The little brother James at the front desk enthusiastically introduced surrounding restaurants and supermarket attractions. When I asked how to get to the opposite island, I also told him that it would be cheaper to go with the boat. Great, great experience."
"Slightly tired with some maintenance due.
Too many emails (I think 9 in total) re the stay. When on holiday I don't want 9 extra emails!.
Staff great, rooms really good and quiet considering the location.
It would be good to get all the Sky TV channels for the amount charged. I.e it was missing Channel 7,17,21 etc."
"Fantastic location, walking distance to the town centre and Wharf . Room clean and spacious , we stayed for 4 nights and our rooms were cleaned and amenities replenished every day . Will definitely come again !"

"From moment we arrived lovely Sarah was so welcoming 100%.price was really good compared to other places we have stayed that cost more and wasn't worth money. Stones throw from the beach.Thus was our second time staying really enjoyed and had a really good night's sleep.lovely touch they give you a bottle of milk on arrival 😀"
"Good and bad. We arrived 20 minutes before check in, I thought it would be ok - it was not. But the desk person saw me standing at the counter and was sitting in the waiting area having a personal conversation, ignoring me, when she finally came over she was quite rude about how we were too early and told me to come back in 20 minutes. We went and had a coffee and came back to be met at the service desk by a very polite man who checked us in, although he gave vague directions to get to our room.
Once there, I stepped out of the sliding door to the outside, not expecting the step down to be about 24cm (which is a large step for anyone, let alone shorty like me). I rolled my ankle, and now my foot is swollen. When I advised on checkout, there should be a warning on the door and what had happened. The person (different lady) was unconcerned about my foot.
Other than that, the room was comfortable and very close to township and great eating places.
Despite the cons we would stay again."
