"Late check in arrival went very smoothly. Beds were comfortable and getting in and out of property was no issue. Conveniently located to access the Glowworm caves which was nice. Wish breakfast was available earlier but not a terrible problem. Overall very happy with our stay."
"My wife and I stayed for two nights in cabin 1. It was charming, clean, and exactly as advertised. The small kitchenette was perfect for our purposes (we had not intended to cook & instead done in the village); the fridge was nicely stocked for breakfast. The heaters worked well in both the main room and in the bathroom that’s just a few steps away across the porch (private). The bathroom is small but, again, perfectly sufficient.
The location is breathtaking. The view from the porch across the valley is sublime, from dusk till dawn. We also loved walking down to the glowworm grotto on the property—a nice “private” supplement to cave tours nearby. Our morning hike in the area was also wonderful. The quiet and peace with only sheep and cows nearby (& the occasional farmer) can’t be beaten.
We would return in a heartbeat if we returned for another visit to NZ. Highly recommended."
"The owners of this motel have worked it out and this is a great stopover.
Easy to find( on the main road), easy check-in, warm room, super clean, and great bed and pillows."
"Very fun experience, we lived in the front side of airplane. Space is a little small, but fun experience. The front desk guy is super helpful and recommended some good food for us."
"We LOVED our stay! We were offered dinner - a chicken and potato curry- which we took them up on. It was by far the best meal I’ve had in NZ- home cooked, tasty and so flavourful! We loved the garden area and the deck. It was one of our best stays. 100 percent recommended!!"
"Cabin has a bad smell (note on wall stated it was recently varnished but did not have this smell). Shower went hot then cold on and off which made for a very unpleasant experience. Overall i would recommend to get an ensuite and skip the cabin to stay. Friendly staff but overall not a pleasant stay for the price."
