Spacious rooms, had a separate queen bedroom, plus 2 twins in the living room area, kitchen with fridge and microwave and cooktop with any needed amenities. Had a heater for cool nights, separate laundry facilities that were just down the steps. Place could use some updating, but for our stay it was the right price and just fine for us

We were at the end of our trip on the South Island and arrived very late and also had to leave early in the morning. Mike was super responsive and accommodating to our schedule… so awesome! The room had everything we needed for the stay. It was easy to get to and parking simple. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Nice place to stay

Easy check in with a friendly host. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities catered for. About a 10 minute walk to shops. Could hear traffic noise but not so much as it disturbed our sleep.
