Lovely family run hotel and restaurant. Staff super friendly. Room was large and had a comfy bed. Shower had plenty of hot water. Delicious restaurant on site. Great spot to watch sunset!

From the start the girl taking us to Alan was polite and then Alan showing us to the new cabins and helping with the bags was great. A home away from home feeling.
The hints from Alan on things to do, we would have missed, like the Pancake Rocks and The Hokitiko Gorge were great.
Nothing real negative but unsure where to check in. Bit old school like the pubs in Scotland where you go to the bar.

Der Parkplatz vor dem Zimmer ist sehr praktisch. Die saubere Unterkunft bietet zusätzlich einen kleinen Aussenbereich, den man je nach Wetter gerne vor dem Schlafengehen nutzt. Ein keiner Spaziergang hinunter zum Meer ist empfehlenswert.
Auf der Speisekarte findet jeder etwas nach seinem Geschmack.
Unsere Unterkunft war nahe zur Strasse, die man im Zimmer nicht überhört. Das betrifft wohl nur die Zimmer-Bungalows, in Strassennähe.

Clean and fresh and facing the western sunset and beach, with a nice restaurant.
Leaving.

Everything. The room was very clean and spacious, well designed. Everything you needed in the kitchen and a lovely outlook. One of the best accommodations I have stayed in.
A family run property since the early 50’s.
We wish we could have stayed longer.
Nothing - however I think a Reception sign would be helpful.

The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. There was a lovely kitchenette with a well stocked mini-bar. The owner was a most gregarious, friendly man who went out of his way to make us feel welcome.
We ate our evening meal in the restaurant and were disappointed with the food. It felt like a 1970’s style meal….very basic.

Lovely friendly staff who also gave good suggestions on places to visit. Units were excellent and had everything we needed. The restaurant served great food and was excellent value for money. Would definitely stay there again

Nothing to fault this place.

Great location and friendly staff.
Would have been nice if we were told of the rugby do taking place at the restaurant… we booked a table on arrival which ended up being right in the middle of their event! If we had been told there was going to be a rowdy function taking place we would have come earlier/later.

Breakfast was superbly cooked for all and waited on by the Publican himself, great coffee and amazing food presented with distinction.
Not much apart from us not staying longer
9.0 / 10.0
Family run with efficient who obviously like working there.
Care and capability in all aspects.
Hospitality in its real sense is understood here. Pricing is good.
Not a lot. It’s provincial / rural and very good in this context
