The place I stayed in was different than the photo. This wasn't a big deal as the place I stayed was bigger (nicer?) than the photo. Unfortunately someone before me left with the key to the room so I didn't have a key to lock it. As others have mentioned there was noise from the road, which didn't bother me as it's just white noise. However there was a water pump or something that was going on and off for a good portion of the night. It was quite jarring when it turned off and on and made sleep difficult.
The location was much closer to Hokitika than I expected. Julian was a friendly helpful host. Areas were clean and new looking. Others have mentioned having to pay for hot water but Julian gave me a $2 coin for my shower which was enough for me.
