This is a friendly place with clean, newly remodeled rooms. Glen introduced himself to us in the pub as locals were gathering for the first All Blacks rugby match of the World Cup. He said that this is a huge night for Kiwis and apologized in advance if the noise in the pub got loud later on. We did hear the rowdy fun as the All Blacks won later that night, but that is part of the experience of staying at a hotel/pub. Would recommend for a friendly local experience.
