Great stopover with our dogs

7.0

Very friendly, homely place which allowed our dogs and the staff were very friendly and interested in our dogs. It is a converted home and still feels like walking into a home.

− Bathroom could have been cleaner

親切なオーナー、アットホームな宿

10.0

自転車旅で荒天を凌ぐために2日間滞在しました。オーナーはとても気さくで親切でした。 テ・アラロアのハイカーなど旅人の利用が多そうな宿で、宿泊者同士の距離が近いアットホームな宿です。 ランドリー、シャワー、タオル、キッチン、全て無料で利用できました。キッチンには油や調味料など必要最低限のものはありましたが、タイミングによってはない場合もありそうです。 旅人としては慣れしたん親しんだ雰囲気の宿だと思います。

− リビングスペースと寝室の距離が近いので、夜にリビングで騒いでいる声は聞こえます。そこも含めてこの宿の味であると私は思いました。
