Marilyn made us feel welcome and we did not have any difficulties at all. We only used the place to rest over night on our way to Wellington, so we did not explore the local area. The place was clean and suitable for our needs. The only small issue was that the place does not have central heating, and so it was colder that we expected, coming from Arizona. A heater was supplied and beds did have heating blankets so it was not a problem. Depending on the time of year this may become an issue.
