"This was a last minute stay, and we were very happy! They were accommodating. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again."

"Easy parking, big enough space, kind staffs."

"This is a beautiful slice of paradise. Judy and her husband were so welcoming and hospitable. It was very convenient home base for our visit to Hobbiton and Waitamo. We just wished we could stay longer!"

"Contactless check in was great for arriving after hours. Great location, peaceful."

"Room was spacious with super comfortable beds. Small kitchenette available with microwave and kettle. We loved the old school 90s feel which still looks in its prime. The room had everything you could need for a few days stay. Didn’t get to use the courtyard but it was tidy. Parking easy and Jeff was very helpful with local activity recommendations. A little bit of road noise but nothing significant. We were given the accessible room and it was very well set up for that purpose. Thanks Jeff and Jenny "

"Cabin has a bad smell (note on wall stated it was recently varnished but did not have this smell). Shower went hot then cold on and off which made for a very unpleasant experience. Overall i would recommend to get an ensuite and skip the cabin to stay. Friendly staff but overall not a pleasant stay for the price."

"It was definitely a unique stay. Just keep in mind that the deeper in the ship you go, the colder it gets. However, the duvet and blankets they provide are plenty warm, and there are extra heaters provided, plus some electric blankets I think. People complained about the diesel smell, while present, it faded away for me after a while, it wasn't overpowering or anything. "

"Conveniently located to restaurants and the museum. Very clean. The woman who works the inn is very kind and makes a lovely breakfast. Highly recommend!"

"Lyz was a great host, the peace & quiet allowed us to just relax in prep of upcoming event, sometimes piece, quiet & tranquility is whats needed to just breathe. Everything we needed was there, a home away from home"
