Have to agree with previous posts that the rooms are a bit tired. Bed was really uncomfortable and the tv was smaller than our computer screen. Deb is an excellent host, warm and helpful, and the grounds are very attractive. Though tired, the room was spotless. More

We stayed 2 nights on our Sth Island road trip. This property is quite lovely. It's down a long driveway and is very private, but still just across the road from the beach. It's a touch out of the main shopping area, but a short walk to the bars and restaurants - but this was good with a family. The... More

We stayed here for 3 nights over New Year (11/12) and had a great time. The accommodation is spotless, well appointed, and the motel is in a good location.

Deb provided superb recommendations for great food! She was also helpful in providing stationery for postage; more so when we had to return something to Hanmer Springs. The... More

We stayed in a studio unit and it was in TIP TOP condition. Extremely well kept and comfy beds. Deb went the extra mile to on the heater in the evening to ensure the room was nice and warm. We brought back crayfish and fresh fish from our fishing trip and she set up the BBQ for us! Love it... More
