Gorgeous quiet and peaceful accomodation. With wonderful comfy big bed and aimple room with basic neccesities. Will certainly stay again and keen to try the restaurant next door next time. Greatful to the receptionist for answering late night ph calls to be able to stay another night.

Only the TV in the room didnt have Chromecast or Satelite or dish tv. So TV in room couldnt be used. Which was a shame as the bed was so comfy and huge, I would of loved to have been able to snuggle into bed after a hot shower with a good ol romcom movie. Settled in watching on my ph using Motel free wifi.

We were really pleased with our little ensuite room. Nicely decorated in a shabby chic style. The shower was great, the bed was comfortable and it was all spotlessly clean. Outside the window were lavender plants so we had a lovely scent coming in. Stored our ice blocks in the communal kitchen freezer and ate at the pub/restaurant next door which was really good food. Delighted with the tiny town, ate breakfast at Fat Pigeon which was also lovely food.

Electric sockets a little awkward for using the kettle. Nowhere to cook other than a microwave in the communal kitchen if the restaurant is closed.

I was a little leery about booking this accommodation, but I am so glad we did. If you are booking here, just know that you’re booking in a very rural area with not much around. We just needed a place to sleep for the night and this fit the bill exactly. it was a perfectly clean room with the cutest atmosphere. They very much use the trust system as there was no one at the desk, but they just left our keys for us so we never really saw any staff which was fine. They have a small kitchen that you can help yourself to a simple little breakfast. The room was spotless clean and so cute. I was more than satisfied with this lodging and it far exceeded my expectations. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nothing

Friendly, helpful welcome when checking in.😀Much appreciated! Everything was super clean in my room and the guest kitchen and lounge. Bed was very comfortable! Great shower. Generous continental breakfast included in price! Tea and coffee freely available. I loved the personal touches and attention to detail. Stylish but homely. Lovely outdoor space and good onsite parking.This place is an absolute gem. Perfect peaceful sanctuary to recharge and refresh after travelling from Auckland on route to New Plymouth. Strongly recommend a stopover here on way to New Plymouth especially as ongoing roadwork holdups can lengthen an already long drive from Auckland. I will be back for sure. Good value for money.

Nothing.It exceeded my ecpectations!

It was exactly as described. The room was clean and comfy. The family room was great. Very well equipped with milk, tea, coffee and breakfast foods. The outdoor area was lovely. The restaurant food was delicious.

A couple of things… The windows in the room were hard to shut. As I was on my own in the room I was determined to get them shut. Make sure to bring shampoo, body soap is provided. There are just the basic TV Chanel’s. TV reception is okay.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room ticked all the boxes for me as I have a disability. Plenty of safe space for the children. Then omg the fat owl Cafe went over and above my expectations. The staff very friendly and helpful. The food was awesome tasted soo good a beautiful layed out table for the family.

To be honest I can't think of anything. I will be recommending this accommodation and Cafe to all I know

We arrived on a wet cold afternoon. The room is a small bedroom with a double and single bed, toilet with shower, electric blankets and electric fan heater on wall. We thought, oh dear this could be cold. But no, the electric blankets were perfect and after an hour the room was toasty and the nanageress put on the corridor heaters. Because the top mattress was wonderful and we did not need the wall heater on overnight we had a perfect sleep. Mind you a beautiful meal next door at restaurant did help.

Nothing.

We really enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff and their customer service. We were there for my daughters wedding and the staff went out of their way to make the function amazing. They were all friendly and really made the wedding that much better with their service. Thank you everyone.

I did not like the cleaner and the way she spoke about my daughter and she complained about having more work to do, when the work she was doing was exactly what she would have been doing anyway. She was rude and called my daughter an idiot for choosing to place people in certain rooms that she had paid for. She just wasn’t nice. She then changed her tune and was ok at the function, but initially, not good customer service. She also didn’t clean the rooms properly. We had a dirty spoon and the shower had bugs in it.

The staff are very welcoming and accommodating with their rural charm. You feel like a local. Lovely meal from the Fat Owl restaurant that was hosting a private function, bur allowed us to purchase from the function menu at a reasonable price. Very comfortable stay with a complimentary continental breakfast. Highly recommended staying in Piopio if your travelling through.

The shower door didn't close entirely.

The stereo from the pub next door didn’t stop until 2am in the morning. When it finally stopped the guests decided it was a great idea to have a long conversation outside our door. We had to be up by 6 am to meet at the timber trail for two days of cycling. Unfortunately this didn’t get us off to a great start. I’m not sure if this is a regular Saturday thing as they did have some big groups of people in the bar.
