Independent in Elephant Hill from NZ$133

"Nice decor, clean and new. The kitchenette was nice. Will need to have a car or Uber to see attractions. The clerk gave a great recommendation for dinner and hints on wear to look for penguins. "

"On a family road trip around NZ from Aus in July. Stayed one night and loved the place. Great sized cottage, beautifully set up and well maintained. The surrounds are stunning with a lovely garden and so many little birds. Our host took great care of us with pre-lit pot belly and basics in the kitchen to see us right. I highly recommend this stay, it’s along the way and well worth it. "

"Has everything you need, including iron/ ironing board. Bfast items offered. We were able to bring our labrador. Lovely spot. "

"It was a lovely room. Just the right size for our one night stay. We were annoyed that the electric blanket was incredibly hard to find and plug in to use. I broke my permanent bracelet trying to lift the whole mattress to get to the plug on both beds. The heater has 3 different places to make sure it is on (overkill), had to call the desk to get it working. Positives: it is a lovely old hotel with a quirky room system. A few stairs to conquer but also a small elevator. It is very central to everything. A lovely walk up amd down the road to find quaint shops and wonderful old buildings. The people were nice and the cleaning lady was especially perky in the morning. Everyone seemed.to be happy to work there. "

"Great stay, basic but everything we needed."

"Location is good and close to town."

"This hotel was SO cool!! The old building had been transformed in to such a unique hotel. Undoubtedly the most unique place my wife and I have ever stayed!! Recommend it highly!!"

"So new and clean, spa bath was awesome, friendly staff"

"This is an excellent motel. Quiet and warm It has older decor, but it is clean and functional. The owner is a lovely lady very welcoming and helpful Would definitely recommend this motel. "
