Staff was great and love the fact that it’s pet friendly. Not easy to find in NZ. Unsure why there was a $20 surcharge for having a pet at the check in that wasn’t mentioned in Expedia when booking though. Might need to look at that.

Great because we could take out mini schnauzer. Has all the amenities needed. Washing machine use was a little pricey at $7 then $2 for dryer. Otherwise location perfect as it is a good distance from the busyness of town/tourists and access to lake and pathway perfect.
