    It was a large room that was clean and warm. The fly screens were a great idea.

    No staffed reception when checking in. It would have been nice if the provider advised that purchasing provisions like fresh milk and bread was not available in the village, and needed to be picked up at a larger town before arriving. Located on a hill so walking back to the village was not easy.

    Liked the log cabin style room, parking out front of room and clean. Wifi available. Location a short drive to the Pancake rocks.

    Beach view is only from a platform in the garden. Although a short distance from beach and cafe it required walking on the highway, or driving.

    Spacious unit, clean and tidy. Lovely bush views from balcony. Super easy check in/out

    No issues . Had a slight panic when we saw no oven but found the two induction cook units in the drawers.

    Loved being back off the road and away from the beach so we all had a good nights sleep and weren't kept awake by the sound of the sea. Enjoyed the Wekas puttering around.

    A good place to stop while driving down the west coast to break up the drive. Close to the pancake rock area and a good value for the dollar. Beautiful outside viewing platform.

    Would've been nice to have a face to face check in but I understand some of the rationale.

    Fantastic views from the little deck across the wee lawn. The resident weka was very friendly too. Room was clean and tidy, with a great shower, and far enough off the main Rd to blunt the noise of passing traffic.

    I felt that the bathroom could be renovated to be more modern, with new shower head.

    I didn't eat breakfast there I loved the wooden style of the accomodation I loved the little balcony and nature surrounding it
