Perfect spot just close enough to town - but not too close. And near the lovely coastal walk. Very comfortable room. Charming staff to greet you. A lovely spot. I'd stay here again for sure.

I had been in the South Island for 10+ days and this is the best stay I have had - spacious, clean, spectacular view, good facilities (bath, stove, BBQ…etc). Location is fine which is just few mins drive from the centre. Superb value for money and the host is friendly.

    The location was fabulous-right on the beach with fabulous views all around. Reception staff were courteous and helpful. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean and the bathroom was especially nice.

    Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
