The location was good for my visit to Waianakarua. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was big and clean. The heatpump warmed the room but it was really too cold outside for a heat pump. This would be a great place to stay in the summer. It was quiet and peaceful and very close to the main road. The owners were very friendly.

You have to go to the shared kitchen to make a cup of tea and it was very cold in June. An electric blanket might have made my stay more comfortable.

The owners were so accommodating. We were running past the 10.00pm check in time and they waited up for us. The bed was really comfortable and the unit was spotless.
