Quick decision to stay the night and selected this place as it had somewhere to eat as well. Room was on main road big easy access to restaurant and bar. Only issue was the sand flies.

6/10 Good

Our room number 208 was tucked back behind the other units so was quite dark and cold as the sun went down before the light came around to our unit. We had to sleep with a heater on 21 degrees as without it on, our room was very cold. We were unable to see the sunset, because of the positioning of our room and that was one of the reasons for coming to the West Coast. We stayed 2 nights and after the first night they took away our towels and we had to request another set. They did bring them to us within 30 mins of our request. The restaurant food was good and the service was great. We enjoyed our stay but would certainly request that we aren't in that room again.

Absolutely stunning piece of NZ. Accommodation itself is in need of a really good clean. Surface clean, but run down and needs a thorough clean/spruce-up.

The room was fabulous, great bed and view front He room. The restaurant however is very expensive for the quality of the meals. Thought the price didn’t correlate with the quality.
