This was a great place to stop overnight on way north. Easy to find, easy parking, retro but very clean and functional space with everything needed. Really appreciated the little deck area with table and chairs as it was a nice night to dine outside. Close to main road but fenced and with door shut for the night no road noise really. We would stay again when passing through.

It was pouring with rain when we arrived, so we really appreciated having the carport and entry cover, so we didn’t get soaked hauling our luggage in. Great for a 1nt stay on our way from Wellington to the Coromandel. Because of the weather the Coromandel didn’t happen, but that’s a whole other story!

Very clean and has everything you need. On the main road though so a bit noisy. In summer, there are tons of mosquitoes. The place needs fly screens
