Welcoming very helpful staff. A lovely, spacious room, close to shops and cafes and the beach. Great to have a spa bath and to have a comfortable couch etc for relaxing, and a small kitchen area.

The room is quite vulnerable to noise being very close to the railway crossing where trains pass frequently. We could constantly hear the sound of the level crossing bells etc until quite late at night. Also it was a very hot weekend and so lots of ventilation needed at night etc. We had a fan but air conditioning would have made all the difference. Also the room needs net curtaining as it is right opposite the village cafes etc. We felt a bit exposed moving around our room in the early morning on full view to those across the street enjoying their coffees!!

Great bar, snack meals, staff hard working and very friendly. Rooms large and clean and modern and fantastic shower. Owner showed us around the complex instead of just giving us the key and fend for ourselves. There was a lift for us (in our 70's) and taking up bags.

We were in room 2, which is like an adjoined annex. There was one window to open about 10cm as the beer garden was below, and no balcony. The room heat was over-powering. Fans had been provided, but mostly blew around the hot air. I suggest a ceiling fan or air con. Our only issue with our stay.

Convenient and well situated in town centre for eating out and close to beach. Room was spacious and decent bathroom. Food in restaurant was quite good and not bad value.

Kitchenette basic, not well equipped, no knife and couldn't even open the coffee sachets which didn't have a tear strip. Noise from trains and crossing nearby might put some people off.

Large room Felt safe as had balcony and could keep doors open Bed very comfortable Clean towels every day Lift available Given managers mobile if needed Delicious meal in restaurant

Kitchen extremely small Bed not made Had to do own dishes Access to rest of hotel difficult Information out of date

This was a lovely large room in a very cute township with bakery and lovely pizza place across the road, short walk to beach and easy access from train. The staff were super friendly and nice. The restaurant/bar downstairs had a lovely atmosphere and noise was cut off at a reasonable hour. No issues sleeping. Would love to come back here again. The food was also excellent!

The restaurant was just a pub style restaurant as far as decor and layout , but the food far exceeded the comparison . Probably the best scotch fillet I've had in years. Other peoples meals I spied were also very generous and healthy portions of a great mixed salad. The local beach was a two minute stroll with nice beach side footpaths to walk. Stunning unimpeded sunsets over the western sea towards top of the South Island and Australia ( Tasman Sea) Due to road works , access from new Transmission Gully motorway bit of a pain but fully accessible.

overall extremely good.

Great spot very handy to everything. The staff were lovely and friendly, meal was great in the restaurant and the room was really comfortable.

Maybe need a sign to show the driveway to parking and a bit more parking would be good. Just found the tap pipe on the handbasin and when the toilet filled up were quite noisy.

The friendly staff were lovely. A nice big room with all the necessary facilities and handy to cafes and the beach. The restaurant had a nice selection of food

My only complaint is the fridge made a noise every hour or half hour throughout the night which kept waking me up. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Large, spacious room, big spa bath in bathroom, big deck outside room, good location with cafes etc. Very friendly, efficient staff

Like other places advertising a kitchenette, we were disappointed to find this consisted only of a microwave, without suitable cooking gear suitable for microwave cooking. Another place we stayed at on this trip which advertised a kitchenette has two hotplates, a microwave and a full set of cooking materials, which made self catering a pleasure. Having only a microwave was very limiting.

Property was all the things you want - great location, clean & tidy facilities.

The parking situation was poor. There were only 3 car parks & they were not easy to access. If we had been told there was limited, secure parking we would have gone somewhere else.
