Gin gives you a “welcome home” greeting so sincerely and warmly that it actually feels real. The place is lovely, fun, beautiful, cozy, and a great location for walking to town or the lovely shops nearby. Wonderful value and great way to experience NZ hospitality.

Wayne was extremely helpful as we had a very late arrival (actually 2 am the next morning) and he accommodated us with a key that we could easily find and use to access our suite. Then the next morning he made us a delicious Cappiccino😁

The photograph on the website make it appear that you will stay in the stately main building. Instead we stayed in what is best described as a drab, mid century motel unit with kitchenette next to a main road.
