Arrived to find major building work in progress which did not finish until about 9pm. Required to park at front because builders truck was allocated to builders truck and consequently had our car window smashed and broken into along with two other guests cars overnight. Staff very aplogetic and helpful but would not have booked if we knew about the building work which recommenced at 8am next morning (Sunday). Overall a very negative experience and we drove back to Wellington with no window.

Good budget accommodation
Stayed two nights and this place met our needs. The staff was friendly and the room had the essentials. It was within walking distance of the main town area. It's definitely a budget stay and to an extent you get what you pay for - rooms were somewhat dated and minimalist, but I was happy with the experience. Would stay again.

Very nice people who run the place. The unit we stayed in was in the back. We checked in late, but the owners were very accommodating! We liked the nice bathroom, and comfy bed. Great spot for as stopover. Looks like new improvements were being made on site, with some new construction. My guess is it will be a really great place to stay! Would recommend. =)
