The Old Post Office is very basic and that's its charm. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Big windows with lots of light and views of the mountains. The kitchen is a small but wonderful place to have a tea and stare out at the Church Mountain and the ocean...and you can cook if need be. The one staff member was extremely helpful and personable; letting us know about the area and that we should search for native berries. I could not more highly recommend this hotel and would stay there...

Really friendly staff. Room is a bit old, but in good condition - rooms have local names, not numbers. Breakfast was good. Interestingly, tables were allocated by your room name which meant there was a table for everyone. There is also an electric car charge point in the carpark.

We had a lovely stay in the share house. The bedroom was large and clean and the shared bathrooms were spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our dinner but was wishing we had booked into the onsite restaurant as it looked amazing. Made it in time for happy hour which was perfect after a big day of driving.

Staying in guest houses for most of our trip, it was such a nice surprise to have a massive room and private bathroom to yourself. There is also a kitchenette if you want to cook. There is no formal check in or check out. You get emailed your room and door code, so have it ready. Short walk to the supermarket, restaurants, and the waterfall in town.
