10/10 Excellent

We had no idea what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised. Friendly owner and the room was very clean with nice little shabby chic touches. We went to the attached restaurant and had a nice meal with a large garden out the back for the child to run! Large naughts and crosses game to play. Overall very good! Nice drive out to Waitanguru falls. Quite a drive to Waitomo caves. Definitely recommend!
