Friendly staff, Very unique boutique hotel, nice decos for lobby, basic breakfast, different room type than we initially thought. But for this small town, a bit pricey.

8/10 Very good

Had one night stay but could have stayed longer. Comfortable bed, good shower and very clean and room well set out. Loved all the different themed rooms. Once out of the lift depending which room you have you may need to carry your luggage down some stairs and then back up stairs the other side, so can be difficult if older or have large heavy luggage. Can pack at front of hotel overnight up to 10am free of charge. Would stay again.

Uniquely designed and decorated! Renovated building with theme rooms and nostalgia items made for a fun stay. Check in and greeting by Tina was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast included was lovely with lots of options to start off the day! Location was fantastic, walking distance to great area to view this beautiful historic town. Highly recommend this stand out hotel.

This is by far one of the best hotels we’ve stayed in, in NZ and the world.. It’s clean, very comfortable and quirky which we love. The staff are so friendly and helpful, shout out to Cathy and the younger lady with dark hair (apologies that I can’t remember her name). The continental breakfast is simple but has something for everyone. The local Whitestone cheeses were excellent. It certainly filled us up. I don’t think we’ll be back to NZ (due to distance) but if we did, we’d definitely stay here again. Needless to say, we’d recommend this hotel 100%, don’t hesitate to book it!!

8/10 Very good

A very quirky place. A cross between Steampunk and the old boys cricket club from yester year. Clean. Comfortable. Very central location. But no on site parking at all - despite what is advertised. Woolworths car park next door and street parking abundant after hours. Lovely continental breakfast. Place is all locked up at 8 pm, but room access is fine.
