For the price and as an emergency stop, it was great! There are signs at the property saying "check-in at 5pm" which doesn't reflect what's on this listing (says you can check in until 9pm). We were lucky that it was a busy night and another group was also checking in late, so no troubles. They will also ask for your ID and address.

Amazing service! The lady staffing the reception was super nice. Great to be given extra blankets and a heater in winter since it was freezing out, and the price for the room was decent.

I hate to say, wouldnt stay again. Usually check in is 2pm. This place a hard 5pm. We arrived just after 4pm and no wouldn't check us in. Pics showed a TV. No TV. Had adjoining rooms we couldn't lock from our side so had to trust staff. Gave us a sheet and pillow cases and made us feel like we should of had them, yet we told all provided No internet. Do not recommend for families. We have stayed many places and only exoect what they say. Pay for what ylu expect but at 185 expected more.

This accommodation was below expectations. Everything was clean, but the place was run down and eery. I wouldn't have felt safe staying there alone. No smoke alarms either. Won't be going back. Smelled of cigarette smoke. It's more like a very basic holiday park than a backpackers. The short check-in timeframe at 5pm was inconvenient, but I knew about that before booking. It's surrounded by bush, which is nice, and has a pretty stream behind, but it had an isolated feeling with few guests, and an uneasy vibe. Was cheap though, and conveniently located. Person at reception was friendly.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The property surroundings are nice and also handy to town. The room was clean and tidy but very basic. Bring your own towels and tea bags. Great for a quick stopover or camping. Would stay again and recommend for a quick visit.

Stopped there for a night and we had a lovely time. Only regret is that my bed was broken and I noticed it too late to change. Bathrooms were clean, good shower pressure, lovely environment, easy parking. It was great! Plus, if you're planning a trip to Egmont National Park, you can get plenty of good advises from your host there! PS: they also have sites for campervans and tents
