“Two separate rooms and basic cooking facilities. Walking distance from Tokaanu hot pools as well as having their own.
Clean towels on the radiator was a nice touch.”

I could sneak in a soak at the hotpool before I was off to bed. Bliss!”

“I was greeted in a very friendly and helpful manner, had an extremely good chat about the area and what to do, and how to use the facilities. I arrived quite late and a huge highlight after the long drive was to get into the hot pools and look up...”
