Cute place to stay
"Nice place to stay for the night, -- mind your head when you are upstairs. A shame that it's not facing west to take advantage of the evening sun. Even so, very warm -- the fan was definitely needed."

Visit was to brief to have an opinion. We only spent 9hrs there. It seems a good base for lots of scenic activities.

5/5 - Excellent

Great town

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

The town is looking as is if the economy is really slow. Many derelict buildings.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

It’s a place that time forgot but some of the locals are trying to bring it back to life

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Its a nice quiet place and good in between spot to stop

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

It has a real kiwi small town feel. There are a few hidden gems that you will have to vist to discover for yourselves. The locals know and if you ask nicely they may share a few with you. The bakeries are where sugary dreams come true.....YUM
