Pool, friendly staff, good location.
Very hot, fans cannot keep up.
GregoryAustraliaGreat hints from lady host to head into Otorohanga for roast meat restaurant takeaway. Tenderest lamb ever. Lovely lady owner.
AnthonyNew ZealandA true blast from the past. Beautifully clean units and functional. Peacefull, and no street lights shining through the windows
Bed was a touch hard for our liking, but the peacefullness made up for that
