It's a quiet hotel in a small town
I stayed alone for two days. The check-in process was smooth, and the room was clean. However, the room was small and there was no desk suitable for working, so I used my laptop on a shared table. Overall, I think it passes the mark.

A pleasant surprise
Check in was easy & chatty. Asked us if we'd like to dine with them - check in is at the local pub - so an easy YES. Meal was great, accommodation across the road at a renovated home into bed sits was perfect. They had their own ensuites, so privacy was no issue.

Delightful little cottage, with everything we needed, could only have been better if the laundry had had a dryer.

6/10 Good

Good for a quick sleep
It was not what we expected but it was ok. We were in one of several rentable rooms in a cottage we thought we had all to ourselves (read hotel.com descriptions closely!). We had our own bathroom but the living room and kitchen were shared. We think there was only one other occupant so it was not noisy. We did enjoy the community stove on a cold night while playing cards in the living room. The bed and bathroom were small but comfortable. There was mold on the bedroom curtain sheers. We told them when we checked out.

6/10 Good

The property was neatly presented and overall pretty good. There was some difficulty in checking in because it was at the pub across the road. The room could be better heated ànd the addition of an electric blanket would-be good but maybe kiwis don't feel the cold. If you want reasonably priced food don't go to the pub it is way too expensive for pub food.

Old fashioned fixtures and furniture - exactly as you'd expect in a Historic Cottage including old style teacups. Had walk-in robe and good size ensuite - TV to share in lounge and full cooking facilites including stove, microwave and full-size share refridgerator. We took the time and sat on the veranda. The vacant lot next door holds multiple information signs on Kumara, the area, its pioneers (all sorts). Nice small walk up and down the street with other info signs at different points of historical interest.

Best kept gem in the South Island of New Zealand
This is the best kept secret of the South Island of New Zealand. Was so comfortable, loads of hot water, great kitchen with free laundry facilities. The town itself is worth investigating for any history buff. Would highly recommend it, and will to all travellers we meet on our travels

I was totally amazed as to what was on offer for my 55 dollar a night stay. The cottage was a lot bigger then expected with updated bathroom facilities plus laundry. Room was comfortable and easy access to the Theatre Royal across the road which catered for beautiful dinners and breakfast.
