What a great property. The owners were so nice. The rooms were clean and well stocked. We use the laundry facility, which was very nice. It is walkable to downtown and to the gardens, which was great. Several wonderful restaurants within walking distance as well. Really would recommend this property.

Family owned by a very nice couple that are on site. The room was very modern and not the normal hotel room layout. It was very clean all around. They had a booklet in the room that offered discounts at some of the surrounding food spots. We used 2 free drink cards from that at RR down the street. Parking is right out front of the rooms. The location is very central and walking distance to a small mall. There are several eateries offering mostly Asian eats but some of everything else too. The hot tub jacuzzi in the bathroom was nice to have. We would highly recommend this place to stay. Nicest so far on our NZ trip.

New Zealand lodging at its best!

It was a great experience-- we were welcomed by lovely owners who went out of their way to accommodate our requests and provide information. Conveniently located near wonderful restaurants recommended by the owners and had a fabulous meal. The room was very clean-- and by my standards, that is saying something! Would highly recommend.
