"Have stayed here a couple of times but in the newer container units and enjoyed staying in those rooms. The heritage rooms are smaller and top floor good for an overnight stay. Will stay again but only if newer studio unit is available."

22 Feb 2020A very clean and colourful garden smaller town that has been hit hard by the eruption of Waikare/White Island. Tourists are starting to trickle back but it will take some time for the town to get back to the bustling town it was.
