“Lovely welcome and great location right next to walks and the rail trail”

“The host is very friendly. She gave us some tips and showed us the facilities. The room was comfortable. WiFi was fine. Clean kitchenette. Location was fine. It was right across the street from Karangahake Gorge car park, but there aren't any shops around (tip: bring food/drinks). There are couple of cafes/restaurants 10-15mins drive.” Read more

“Excellent location right in the Karangahake Gorge. Close to main road but traffic noise was not a problem and mainly dies away at night. Well equipped kitchen and about 15 minutes drive from Waihi and Paeroa for supplies. Just across the road from entry to the walking/cycle trails in each direction. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good variety of rooms and shared facilities for budget travellers. We took the de-luxe room which is actually more of an apartment with own kitchen and en suite. One double bed and two single beds in lounge although bathroom is through main bedroom.” Read more

“good location, close to the walking tracks, very hospitable and helpful host, very clean with everything we needed in the shared kitchen and living areas.”

“Excellent service. The staff is very lovely and accomodating. I will surely come back.”

“The facilities were really comfortable and clean. There was a space heater in the room, in addition to a wood fire and heater in the shared common room. All shared facilities were kept clean. There was also complementary coffee and tea in the kitchen, which was a nice bonus. It is also directly across the street from the Karangahake Gorge and has easy access to all the walks. I didn't use them, but one of the staff mentioned there were bikes for visitors to use as well.” Read more

“Allowed us to check in early and leave our vehicle over night after we checked out when we went for a overnight bike ride. The spa we very nice and always available. Convenient location for anyone wanting to visit the Karangahake Gorge.”

“The location was ideal as we attended a family function at the community hall a short distance away. Anita arranged her staff to drive us to the venue so we didn't have to leave our car there. Awesome!! As the family arranged for shuttles to get us back. Above and beyond hospitality - thank you Anita. Great place to hang out and enjoy the environment.” Read more

“Anita is the perfect host... I would totally recommend this accommodation to any traveller regardless of status x Everything was clean and tidy, Anita had amazing knowledge on the gorge and hidden treasures to visit”

“The fire was lovely, the spa was a treat and our room was more than we were expecting. Bikes, games, books were available + we saw others enjoying a large screen. Loved our time, it was too short.”
