    Excellent service from the owner. Suggested the local Blue Penguin colony visit and it was fantastic. Excellent value for money with decent facilities.
  • Pamela

    Super clean and comfortable room, with extras and very kind host. I love the location near the train station and the ease of getting to the airport via bus made it a great place to stay. I would absolutely stay here again in a minute.

    I really liked Jerry. He was very friendly and helpful. Gave me a couple of tips on what to see on the way to Dunedin and what to expect in the penguin viewing. Lovely, large space with 2 rooms (only used the main room).
