No one at the reception, dirty kitchen.
No one at the reception even though they say “reception hours: 8am to 8 pm. I arrived around 6:30pm but the reception window already closed. In the morning, I waited until 9, but nobody came. I tried to call them by the phone next to the reception but no one answered. How unhelpful they are. No parking direction at all either. Kitchen was dirty and there are not enough clean tea towels. Maybe it was the end of the year so they were a bit busy but I didn’t feel welcomed because of these experiences during my stay...

Exactly what I needed after a restless trip to the previous town. Homely, peaceful, nice comfortable people although almost far from everything else to walk. Closest to the Tunnel Beach which was the whole point of my trip but it was pouring in Dunedin. Still a nice time despite staying in. No regrets and would book in again next time.

I liked that casual but organised. Simple kitchen and bed room rules. Happy to have my very well trained, quiet and travelled border collie with me. Very welcoming of us older folk - and less wealthy people mix from all over. Did not like two two large beautiful paua shell Taonga being used as ash trays, out side.

I stayed one night at a room for women. I asked a reception to borrow a charger for my phone and she was so friendly to do it for me. I just slept there but felt such a homey atmosphere. Thanks a lot.

We had a hiccup in that there was noone in reception to check us in and we didn't have time to wait around for half an hour, but a quick email resolved the situation and we were able to check in late at night when we returned. The room was clean and warm and the beds were very comfortable. The only slight inconvenience is that there are no showers on the first floor.
