Owner have maintained property really well. however, its close to highway and night can be noisy to some ppl.
shashank, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The accommodation was basic but clean. The staff were very friendly. Unfortunately the bed was extremely uncomfortable and our room was right on the main road. They provide earplugs for the room which was a red flag!

Basic but clean but lacking things - like empty shower soap dispenser etc. Very noisy highway with no noise or temperature dampening in the building.

Saeko, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great little spot right near the glow worm caves... Very nice room with one full wall of windows leading to a cozy balcony... Clean, bright, and very comfortable... Friendly staff and easy check in... Nice on-site restaurant... It is directly off the highway, so it's a bit noisy, but not terrible, just cars whooshing by frequently...
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great overnight stop on the long road north
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy access to cave and attentive helpful friendly manager. Super noisy road first night with trucks going by and no earplugs, room was road facing. Second night quieter. The room however was clean tidy and comfortable and had a lovely country view.
Lisa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property needs a lot of maintenance, especially the driveway and parking areas. Huge potholes. It is not good for older people to have to walk up and down steep steps to be admitted and get a key.

John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value and comfy with an old touch.

Was only for one night as I visited the Caves. I was given a mountain view room with a balcony which was nice. I ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely. The room was perfect, great hot water and pressure in the shower. If you are facing the road, you may experience traffic noise, but there are earplugs in your room.

Elizabeth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I have to say a huge thank you to the hosts for accommodating our late check in/ last minute booking and coming down since my phone did not have a signal by the door. The property was a little older but clean and tidy! A nice warm place to spend the night as you travel.

Nice place and nice people

Decent enough accommodation, good facilities, easy to find and can park by your room. We had no problems with road noise. Bar area is nice and the food (evening meal) was freshly cooked and good quality. The staff were really nice and friendly.
