This place was very easy to find, we were traveling down from Auckland and needed somewhere to stay. This was the perfect spot for needing a quick shower and overnight sleep. Front desk was super helpful and ready for our stay even tho we reserved the room online a couple hours before arriving.

It was quiet, comfortable & homey. Sadly though, it took a long time for the hot water to heat up, which made it difficult to deal with in the middle of winter. Also wasted a lot of water.
