Great hotel. Perfect to stop and break up the trip between Lake Waikaremoana, Mahia and then back to Napier. Double room unit, ideal for a family where kids require their own room. Had a good supplied kitchenette will all the required necessities.

Ann greeted us warmly when we arrived with a bottle of fresh milk for our coffee and tea and made us feel at home. The rooms are spotless clean and have all the amenities you need for comfort and the kitchenette is terrific for cooking meals. It is a very cheery and welcoming place to relax and rest near the river.
