A mix of rural creativity & hospitality with city professionalism. A great in between stop-off allowing a late departure from Auckland, a trip break and early arrival home. Fabulous meal and super friendly focused staff.

The beds are very comfortable and the room is super clean. The kitchen is pretty small but is good for a little snack or breakfast. We were thrilled to see that there were cornflakes, toasts, jam, peanut butter...for breakfast.
