We arrived late and left early as was just passing through. The room was warm and quiet, service was super helpful and the room was fairly priced for its condition. Happy customers.

Cozy cute hotel.

Their staff is friendly and helpful. She gave us a lot of information in the area. Each unit is a separate chalet. Very cute and cozy place. One thing I was disappointed was that they only have a shampoo/body soap dispenser on the shower wall, no other amenities. You should bring your own shampoo and conditioning if you have long hair.

Great little units, heat pumps are very loud, especially when trying to sleep. Little disappointed any their eco policy, ie trying to save on laundry. I hung all my towls up as instructed to dry but they replaced them anyway. Not a biggie.

Not right on the main thoroughfare. However, Just ten minutes walk. We had the individual solid wood chalets. Felt totally at home here. Wish we had booked longer. Would definitely stay here again. Probably getting a bit tied in places. But overall a very good facility. The owner was most pleasant.

Stacey is a fantastic host. All the staff were friendly. The accommodation was very dated. Little has been done since 1970s. No fan in the shower. Uncomfortable small couch. Old floor coverings. However, we would stay again. Its only a few minutes walk from shopping/restaurants/cafes etc.

Average accommodation.......with a little effort could be a really nice place to stay! Good kitchen utensils but fluctuating pressure in shower and general appearance of whole property could do with a revamp!
