    Getting very run down. Very small. Will not be able to be used too much longer. Chipboard construction starting to fail.

    Price, privacy, quiet. Great shower. It had everything we needed. Balcony.

    Loved the service! We booked a cabin for two nights. After the first night a class of (rowdy) primary school students arrived and stayed in the rooms on the opposite side of our cabin. We were content to stay there, but got an upgrade to a bigger (private) cabin, without having asked. The town of Russell is a 5 minute drive and from there the ferry to Paihia in 15 minutes. Both a must see!

    • One-Bedroom Chalet
    • Stayed 2 nights

    If I am really pressed for a comment, I'd say the bathrooms need a good refresh. tiles on floor broken and old paint, makes them feel not clean (They were actually clean) Also, no free wifi for guests (looked like there was a paid option)

    Very comfortable mattresses. Great value for money. Location was quite good for us as it was not in the middle of town, so could get on and off the main road instantly (the property is on the main road) but close enough to town. Wish we had more time to explore the grounds

    Lovely location if you have a car. Bach was clean and comfortable, staff very helpful and friendly. Loved the wildlife - chooks and ducks. Could hear the Kiwis and night. Lovely local bush walk and board walks from site.

    Toilets, theres a knack to opening the door to the toilets and very basic, bedding was basic, best to bring your own pillows and have to bring your in blankets, fridge and table but nothing else.

    The activities, boardwalk, pool & kiwi walk.

    The room had a slightly unpleasant smell. There is no one to control the noise made by other guests

    Location but far off. The road to the stay is bit bumpy and off road. Or the other shortest way is through boat which needs to be planned

    Value for the price.
