"My friend and I shared a unit with 2 singles in a bedroom and a double/queen in the lounge. It was clean and tidy. The newish owners are doing up the units and ours still had the old appliances but we are out most of the time instead of cooking.The shower was over the bath which didn't really work for easily getting out.."

"There was parking outside every unit for 1 vehicle. The rooms were fresh and provided the needed towels and blankets. Extra pillows and blankets in the room too. The owner Simon went above and beyond when we arrived, during a power cut (Narly storm chased us into Hokitika). He made sure we knew what was open for food and that we had a candle for a room until the power came back on."
