8/10 Good
"Parking was gd but no garage, bed was very clean and comfortable, Staff member was pleasant. View out the window to the mountains was lovely. Kitchen was adequate but microwave not quite up to scratch. Plus neither of us could get the TV to work. Heating was gd. Would recommend this as quite a pleasant and economical place to stay in Ka Kikoura."
