“Great host, good room, great bathroom, quiet place.”
Very friendly host. Map with things to do in the district. Good bed. Plenty of spare blankets. Even a small torch was provided because the little night light in the corridor ran out of a battery. Made us aware of possible danger by walking past the pub along the highway to Carterton. Facilities matched the description.

“Perfection and the best host”
Robyn is an amazing host, she is incredibly friendly and approachable, it made the whole stay fantastic. Ballymena is slightly out of Carterton but within walking distance is you really wanted to walk into town for food. Everything was spotless and so comfortable, given the price I can't say there's a better option to stay within New Zealand, let alone North Island.
