This was exactly what we needed - only stayed overnight but a short walk into town to pick up a few things. The kitchen was very well equipped with our own dishes and the lounge had a pool table. Property is very well maintained. I would recommend highly.

Our stay here was great, thanks to the friendly hostess that ensured we had a safe place to park our Harley that we had ridden up from Christchurch. She also gave us good instructions on where to go for a morning riverside run. Good clen unit for the night. Highly recomended :]

Cleanliness excellent...... basic rooms with communal kitchen and lounge....
Very helpful and pleasant staff if you need anything .
Outdoor eating area was fun as we metmany folk from different countries on holiday .Good value for money .The complex was set in lovely grounds and was also back from the main road which made sleeping quieter than many other places inTurangi.We shall return.
