We have just completed a 6 night stay. Was to be 3, however due to unforseen circumstances, we had to extend. Family/Whanau joined us midway. We were really impressed with the accommodating manner of both Rupert and MacKenzie. Attended to our every need promptly. Nothing was a problem. Well appointed units, great beds, excellent location. Will certainly return. Thanks team!

Central but close to busy road. The room was not fresh with torn and dirty curtains and sofa. The swimming pool was closed because the owner does not want to pay maintenance.

Amazing hosts thanks so much I have never been anywhere so friendly. Chilled vibes perfect for a week off and the upstairs we had was perfect to sit and enjoy a coffee. Super close to town. Love the ginger cat too nice feel for someone away from home x
