If you don't stay here you are crazy! What a fantastic place with so much creativity and craftsmanship, passion, hard work and just down right friendliness. Stay somewhere else in Te Aroha at your peril, this is warm, creative, hard work, passion and just great value. If you are pretentious, fussy and want it bigger than Ben Hurr try Auckland an hour an a half away. But if you want it real, homely, special and more than anything genuine THIS IS A MUST STAY!!!!
