    Wonderful old house full of art and interesting things. Comfortable beds, warm rooms and spotless bathroom. Lovely breakfast - muesli, eggs, avocado and salmon (we don’t eat bacon) and superb coffee. Hosts were welcoming and helpful.

    Nothing - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    The breakfast was great - generous and perfectly cooked. WE loved the unique character and history of the building, and we really enjoyed meeting our three hosts - Geoff ( the human), Ginge ( the cat), and Rufus (the dog), all of whom were very friendly, hospitable and attentive. We are now working on an excuse to come back.

    There was only a sheer curtain in our bedroom which let the light in in the morning and it did not provide privacy.

    Geoff made a great cooked breakfast. He was very accommodating with any requests.

    June and Geoff are wonderful hosts. The inn is packed with wonderful art and while it is their home you are welcomed and made to feel totally at home. Geoff was friendly and helpful, recommending a local restaurant (which was excellent) and driving us there when it rained.

    Unique accommodation located close to township, a great stop-over during the long Wellington to Northland journey. Room and ensuite bathroom exceptionally clean and comfortable with top quality linens. Lovely bedside chocolate was delightful touch. Jeff's wonderful cooked breakfast including freshly squeezed juice and the most crispy bacon ever in front of log fire will be memorable.
