We loved showing our guests this iconic piece of NZ history. Our accommodation was very comfortable and we couldn't fault the food or staff. Thank you for an awesome night.

Well, it is certainly quaint, different and thoughly appealing! We have driven past many times on visits to NZ, but never stayed here before. Now it's absolutely on our list, both to stay, and recommend.
