    Fun themed room. We expected it to be dated but the room was spacious inside and clean. Heating was on when we arrived, which was a lovely touch. Enough towels for all of us. Very easy to be comfortable. Location is perfect for Glow Worm cave. Convenience store and pub close by for meals (Convenience store closes earlier than advertised - so get supplies early) Go to town before you check in if you need food supplies, as it's quite a long windy drive to motel

    We loved staying here. Perfect for our family's needs. The restaurant across the road (Huhu) is fantastic (try the kumara skins) and the General Store is great for coffee. Loads of lovely walks nearby too. We stayed for one night on the way to New Plymouth. The owners were lovely and helpfully posted us back my son's beloved baseball cap when he left it behind. Really grateful!
