Very pleasant, good location - very handy to the central city. Could do with upgrading the windows to reduce the traffic noise

Weekend away
45th Wedding Anniversary and back to home town for old times sake. The Managers made us very welcome and had good recommendations for eating out on Saturday night when the restaurant is not open.

Very friendly and hospitable atmosphere. As hotels go it’s one of my favourite since I came to New Zealand. Less stuffy and conservative and more relaxing and homely nearly. It’s a genuine Victorian building and has been lovingly kept and restored as it was originally intended. There are bedrooms on the ground floor to accommdate wheelchair users.
The owners Rose and Tom are very friendly and offer tips on local spots to visit. The hot breakfast they offer in the morning is delicious and good quality. I’d go back again for the breakfast alone. :-)
Parking is free in allocated spots in the multi storey car park next door.

Comfortable hotel
Overly friendly bordering on slightly intrusive hosts. Dinner was not impressive. Located opposite an unused railway. Well furnished and extremely clean.
