Pros +
- Availability when booking at short notice.
- I got a free upgrade, food was great, drinks were good, room was nice, shower was big ...it was a good stay
- Extremely friendly staff and accommodating to the needs of myself and the people I had with me. The beds were comfortable and for the price the facilities were to be expected.
Cons -
- Location, there were no other facilities (cafe's, convenience store or the like) close to the accommodation. This was an issue as there was limited breakfast and lunch options at the Inn.
- It was all good, no complaints
- Less of a didn't like but things to be aware of, the owner is not a native English speaker but did his best to be accommodating. The breakfast option add on were basic options. We got accidentally double-booked so there was an attempt to move us but ultimately they allowed to stay in the room we had.

Asked to upgrade to a room with ensuite. I was very satisfied. Clean and alot of room.Had to leave my partners bag there for him to collect on his way back from work. Thanks for that.
Only one towel sorry. We were travelling as a couple.
Sleeping was good, meeting different people, and staff were good.
Raje female allegded owner unreasonable and unprofessional. We left recording the room to be tidy and clean on our phone so that raje can not accuse us of sabotaging the room
Arrival was easy given a tour etc but we weren't told about the kitchen. Awesome little country pub and the food was yum
Bathroom facilities weren't the best sharing with all rooms but ok for the price
the room was clean
no toilet in room - had to go down hallway - would not go alone - appears to be used for housing purposes and not that welcoming
Fairly clean sheets
Female manager lacked customer relations n was quite racial without saying so. Towel smelling like stale fish n felt grubby. Room tiny n extremely hot with a tiny rattly noisy ineffective fan. Manager gave us a load of bull crap when we requested for change of same priced room even though it was available n demanded 20$ more. We booked two rooms but one was a total disaster. Overall only thing good were the spruced up pics of establishment on booking.com n on their website.
Very friendly,helpful and tidy and clean
Friendly helpful tidyness
The sheets appeared clean
The staff member was rude - no greeting, just took my money then walked me to my room, briefly indicated the kitchen for breakfast but didn't show what to use etc. Gave keys,showed room and that was it. No smile, no manners at all. The basins were all cracked and obvious grime in the plug holes. Bedding smelled of vape though looked clean. The room smelled musty and mildewyThe women's shower room had a clear glass panel above the door that anyone could look over.The restaurant/cafe didn't appear open,the dingy curtains were closed the whole time.
Affordable, clean, and friendly staff, but the facilities are outdated.
The room gets quite stuffy in the afternoon and night due to direct sunlight (although a fan is provided). Additionally, occasional traffic noise can be heard, which is not good for sleeping.
Locked car park on property, super affordable price, great staff hospitality and good location!
Good place
too noisy due to the car passing on the road and other guests room, Every time they shut their doors, it made noise that could disturb other guests who wanted some rest,
Parking
Bed was broken Shower didn’t work Was dirty No shampoo
I loved our stay. Clean, comfortable budget accommodation for us to rest our heads in on our journey. New carpet and possibly new bed?
We were shown to our room through a private function in the bar - right through speeches for a 21st! Hilarious, if slightly awkward.
The staff are great, especially Lequita! Very friendly and helpful. Food is nice and facilities are good. Excellent stay. Thank you very much.
Nothing , place closed up at 2pm, flagged it at headed for Wellington, what a joke
The staff were welcoming and very helpful and the bar snack just hit the spot so did the cold beer. Had a lovely couple of hours in the bar and was made to feel quite welcome. Thankyou.
I felt that it was a bit pricey for what you got. A room to yourself but shared bathroom facilities. I have the same facilities in my next accommodation for half the price.
The room was tidy, had a plug-in fan and heater to suit your needs. Sink/counter area was useful. Bed was pretty comfortable! New carpet in the room and fresh paint.Window curtains were blackout, and helped greatly with a headache that came about. The windows have nets so we felt privacy even with the carpark outside. The carpark gate is locked overnight, you are given a key to access/unlock if needed. We were also able to view our car from our window which we liked.
Room was stuffy and warm (avoided easily by keeping the fan on low). The room is on the smaller side, but suited us well for one night.You could hear snoring easily through the walls. The hallway had a smell of old carpet (I could not smell this once we entered the room, so didn't mind).
There was a shared space to make a complimentary hot drink and cereal. Easy location to find with rooms attached to a Pub and restaurant.
Had to share toilets and bathroom with others. I had assumed all of these amenities would be in a self contained room.
