Looking for a place for the night we took the room without having a look first.
Very friendly and honest owner (warned us for the evening program in the pub/restaurant: pool stripper!!!). Good pub food, nice full glasses of good wine and beer.
It was pretty straight forward, not really for kids, more for US car fans (owns a nice Thunderbird!)
Organized good blues evenings and bike and US car events.
Hotel is for sale. Hope it is there next time we visit NZ. (Date of experience: Feb, 2010 )
