The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms toilets/sinks/showers were really clean. The kitchen seemed alright as well although we didn’t use it. Was a short walk to the shops also.

“Friendly, unique, inclusive.”
18 Feb 2025
The staff, the vibe, the inclusivity. It was well organised and an additional blessing of a lovely shared Sunday brunch (gifted by the owner) was a lovely touch. It was super friendly and relaxed. Everyone was chilled and respectful of others' needs when I was there.

“Very good”

Excellent staff! The lady caretaker/manager who looks after the place all day every day was so helpful and kind! She helped me and my partner when we had an issue with our booking (our fault) and made sure we were comfortable and couldnt have done more to help us!!! We stayed here before we went to the Abel Tasman over new year.
