    Rooms were very clean and tidy - comfortable beds; slightly dated but they make the most of what they've got and you can tell the place is cared for and well looked after. If you want a humble, kiwi classic this is a great place.

    Amazing location right at the beach. It’s a lovely well maintained place run with lots of love. The cabins are somehow aged but in an incredible condition- PERFECTLY clean and with enough details to make it feel modern. Very comfortable beds....

    This is the second time I have stayed here and love that it is right across the road from the beach. The rooms are old school but clean, tidy, comfortable and the kitchenette is a bonus.

    We were fortunate to get the newly renovated unit (#4 I believe) and were told we were the second guests to stay there. Everything was clean and shiny and new and comfortable! Our criteria was a room with a fridge so the stove top in the kitchen...
