Visit was to brief to have an opinion. We only spent 9hrs there. It seems a good base for lots of scenic activities.

8.4/10 Very Good! (158 reviews)
Our short one night stay was comfortable, clean and the room well appointed even though slightly dated. Bedding was good. And staff had turned on the heating for our arrival on a cold wet windy afternoon which was a nice touch. The checkin staff were friendly and helpful.

Great town
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveller
The town is looking as is if the economy is really slow. Many derelict buildings.
3/5 - Okay

4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
It has a real kiwi small town feel. There are a few hidden gems that you will have to vist to discover for yourselves. The locals know and if you ask nicely they may share a few with you. The bakeries are where sugary dreams come true.....YUM
