The young lady at the front desk was so cordial and most helpful. The rooms are cleaned very well, and as much as I travel I know what cleaned well is. Highly recommend this location if you’re traveling through beautiful New Zealand.

Walls were thin, if you’re a light sleeper that might be a problem with the noise from the road. Otherwise was clean and we enjoyed our stay.
