Very very basic and bare. Everything was visibly cheap. Staff were distant and uninterested.

We were in the wing and loved it. Spacious and well stocked kitchen. We made a fire and that was cozy. Everything is well maintained. We will be back!

La cuisine commune est très propre et bien équipée.

Odeur de bois brûlé dans la chambre 60 à cause d'un conduit de cheminée juste à côté.

"Wonderful from start to end"

9.0

It is the second time we stayed at this place. We stayed in a twin bed with private bathroom room. Clean and tidy, quiet, and found the access to a guest kitchen great to prepare our own food. They even mailed me a phone charger I forgot at no charge. I would stay there again without hesitation.

"Dobry stosunek jakości do ceny, ale prześcieradło z obcymi włosami troszkę odstrasza."

8.0

- miła Pani recepcjonistka, czekała na nas do 20:15 wieczorem - blisko Parku Tongarriro - dobry stosunek jakości do ceny usługi - otwarta kuchnia, można było zjeść śnidanie - duży parking - ciepło w pokoju, dodatkowy grzejnik

- brudna prześcieradło, dużo włosów, najpewniej nie była zmieniana po poprzednim kliencie, ale przyjechaliśmy jak już było ciemno, po długiej podróży, więc nie robiłem afery - dużo słychać z pokoi obok, tekturowe ściany z płyty
