This was a perfect place to start our time in NZ & manage jet lag before we started travelling. We had a very comfortable sleep & the kitchen area had everything we needed. We loved the little veranda to sit & eat our breakfast & enjoy our morning coffee. There was some road noise at night time but nothing that stopped us sleeping. We highly recommend
