the room was good but couple of issues, shower waste was blocked, need cleaning. Also the glass of shower was leaking and when you take shower the water was coming out.
Terrible terrible wifi service. I am not able to understand why hotels don't invest on few $$ to improve internet facility for guests.
It’s right next to haruru falls. The room was comfortable with its own bathroom. We used the kitchen and had dinner and breakfast outside. It’s close to Paihia if you have a car
Property was exactly as advertised. The room was small, but everything we needed. Shared kitchen facility was fully equipped. Would have been nice to have two pillows per person instead of just one.
We really liked the property. Our room was meticulously clean with linen ready for us. Security was good- we used the communal eating and cooking areas and everyone we encountered was friendly and the area was kept clean by users. Lovely to have a cold one on the deck overlooking the river
The room we stayed in was spacious, however there were some spaces that wer dirty and possibly overlooked. The bedside drawers had rubbish left inside. We couldve done with a service half way through our stay, like a complementary vacuum of floors.
Photos of rooms seem to be older photos from a few years ago - rooms and facilities are more dated than shown on photos. Shower was not great - alternating bursts of scorching hot water and ice cold water during showers (even if you dont change the tap). Rooms need some renovation.
Staff was friendly. The shared kitchen was spacious and had ample pots and pans and cutlery for everyone. Outdoor area was nice and looked out to Haruru Falls.

Liked: Staff & service
The property suited my budget and provided me with the quiet environment I was looking for. The kitchen needs upgrading and was not well equipped.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Redecorated recently, nice linen, lovely bathroom.
The outside area is in need of repair. We were just there for the night, so it suited our needs.
I would put cups in the bedroom as there is a jug. There is also a kitchen available for use.
To be fair, we only stayed overnight and didn’t realise the lovely location so close to the waterfalls, until we had checked out and went to explore. Haruru Falls are a must-see.
