Perfect for what I needed. Just a pity that one of the girls that was in the room snored all night. Not much the owners can do about that.

Overnighted here after arriving on the Wellington-Picton ferry around midnight. Parking and check-in were no problem despite the late hour and the room and facilities were adequate and good value.

Very comfortable. The lodge was very clean and decorated tastefully. Lots of beauty in the area so I had many options to enjoy day. The owner was great. I would recommend.

It was an amazing stay. From the time I arrived until the time I left, I felt like I was with family. Everything was cleaned regularly and supplies were replenished as necessary. The owner takes pride in her property and has great compassion for people. I plan to return.

Check-in was smooth and easy. Caitlin and Nicci were not present in the hostel when I arrived but had left me a nice note w instructions and key to my room. Facilities basic but v clean. But to clarify, this is not a hotel but a hostel. I had booked a private room w a double bed, which was spartan but comfortable (might be nice to have a reading lamp?). Bathroom/shower area (co-ed) downstairs. Great that breakfast is provided, and other guests I met were nice and cleaned up after themselves. But I was woken up just after 3am (!) by a half dozen people making themselves breakfast, laughing and talking quite loudly, clanging pans and dishes around, as though completely oblivious to how loud they were. And I'm a deep sleeper. Went on for a long while, kind of ruined my sleep. I've no idea how regular this is, but that should not happen, even for a hostel? And for my one night stay I was not paying hostel prices ($85NZ). A sign somewhere said that breakfast was available from 6am onwards, but with no one was on the property to enforce this nothing could be done. I opened my door at some point looking at them quizzically, didn't want to be 'that person', but nothing changed. :(. This explains my rating. The good thing is that they're right beside the train station, which meant I just trundled over there in the morning at 10 to check in for my trip.

Türen der Toiletten ohne Haken um etwas aufzuhängen. Kalte Dusche, die auch sehr beengt war. Kissenbezug frisch? In einem 3 er Zimmer gab es 2 Hoch Betten und ein normales Bett. Das Hochbett war schwierig zu erklimmen und es gab keine Absicherung. Selbst für das wenige Geld sehr unangenehm. Tagsüber steht die Eingangstür auf aber es ist Birnen an der Rezeption. Unsicher!
