Book a Desert Road Cottage

"Units were very tired - torn sofas, thread bare carpets! Not quite what I expected from the price. Having a bar and restaurant was great, food excellent, drinks very pricey!"

"Yes"

"Parking was easy, unit was clean and cosy and as pictured, only downside was the main road traffic noise, otherwise a pleasant and convenient stop off midway between Auckland and Wellington."

"Bit dated but good"

"Room was a bit small, dated, and dirty."

"Cheap and cheerful, great staff, everything was clean and comfortable and worked perfectly for us. Only complaint is the shower pressure left a little to be desired."

"Great location. Room clean but very basic. Food ... well, there are good options a short drive away. "

"We were arriving late so a quick call to arrange late check in was easy. We stayed 3 nights in total with a 4 day trip away in between nights which was made so easy by the owner to allow us the same chalet for each night. Easy walk to town and we did drive some nights. Very quiet and rooms very clean. Everything we needed including a hot spa and sauna . Thank you!"

"Classic traditional lodge, love the wooden structures and homey feel, felt welcome. Nice patio to watch the sunset!!"
