"Great family stay in the Catlins"

8.0

As a family of four we managed to be offered an upgrade for part of our stay at a very busy time of year. This made a huge difference to our stay. The shared kitchen is good and the shared bathrooms are clean and tidy. The shared dining room makes for a lovely space for a meal.

We could not control the heating in our family bunk room, we all got a little warm overnight.

"A different and interesting place to stay!"

8.0

The location was great. Neat to stay in a previous hospital, not as a patient! The owner was very friendly and helpful.

The bunks were very creaky and had no side bar on the top bunk. The mattress were comfortable though .
