Room, bed and garden.
Basic teas & coffee and nothing else. A few more choices and maybe a couple of biscuits would be nice

This is a real boutique kiwiana motel, typical of the 60’s and 70’s when motels were owner operated. The couple who run this are absolutely delightful with their genuine kiwi hospitality. Reminded me of the good old days
