Very comfortable bed. Took you back to the 1970s but in a good way. How accomodation used to be - really enjoyed stay. Owners were extremely friendly and went out of their way to be accomodating. They allowed us to park our car in their carpark when we went to stewart island. Walking distance to the ferry 200m. Would stay there again as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
