"Pretty, short walking loop trail at the end of the road, by the river. Dozens of large eels ("tuna", in Maori) in the little stream under the riad, next to the motel. They come quickly if you have bits of meat to trow in for them to eat. No catching/fishing, though!"

"Enjoyed short stay. Staff very friendly. Restaurant good"

"Almost everything about this place was great - i even had a decent view of the mountains over the fence through my back sliding door which i liked to keep open for the fresh late summer air when in the room. I barely heard any noise from people in other rooms, including no tv noise! The primary downside was the unsupportive mattress which was a common experience for me throughout NZ, leading to poor sleep and aggravated bad back, even with all the wonderful pillows. It also made it hard to ignore the sounds of very large trucks driving by or stopping out front, throughout the night. I ended up getting a white noise app and playing it loudly to help drown that out. I would consider ataying again, dependent on room location and probably not for multiple nights."
