"Room was very tidy and the lovely lady on the front desk when we checked in was so friendly. She went out of her way to ask about our car situation (I had called earlier to say we may not make the booking) Also the person I spoke to on the phone (apologies I can't quite remember their name - Michel?) was very accommodating and kind to talk with. We have loved all of our stays at Distinction :)"

"Great spot! perfect for a get away with friends and family."

"Lovely and spotless, only stayed one night as passing through but if back in hamilton will book again."

"The host was lovely and the rural setting was exactly what we needed for peace and quiet before the long journey home back to Canada. Everything was clean and comfortable."

"Paula was an excellent host! We loved everything about this place. Thanks for sharing it with us!"

"The staff are 5 star/ 5 stars- they are very nice and welcoming. The place was clean but needs some updating, especially the bathroom. It is a good place for an overnight stay. "

"Excellent location. Situated on the waterside, east walking to local cafes, shops, walks. Premises clean and plenty of space. 2bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, very serviceable, decor could use a refresh, however we spent most of our time out and about seeing the sites. Would definitely recommend "

"Comfortable stay. We had to pay for towels and sheets. We traveled from overseas and are not familiar with the setup of holiday parks in NZ. Having to pay for towels and sheets seemed strange. The bathroom was outside and shared. This too was an inconvenience. It was not clearly stated in the description of the property when we made our bookings online. There were no shops or dining available in the vicinity and we had to drive almost 30 minutes to the nearest shopping area. Come prepared with all your things for staying here overnight. They need to update the amenities description online."

"Awesome stay and friendly host."
