Reviews
Nice clean comfortable hotel rooms with the necessities. Property looks fairly new. The food was just fine too, burgers and pizza mostly. Bookings have to be made via phone or email see website for contact. Some of the reviews in a very small town made us question this property but honestly it was just great and we definitely recommend. Lovely bushwalk for views and NZ fantail birds too!

The motel room was clean with good water pressure. The only problem was the breakfast supplies had not been restocked, but a local cafe opened at 7.

An exceptional experience with Susie as our host. She couldn't have been more helpful and the meals eaten by our group were delicious and well priced.

Value for money 10/10 Burger was better than expected, pattie was more like a rissole. Chips were cooked well, good serving size. I couldn't eat it all. Two plain burgers and chips $19 a cheap dinner for two
