Pauline is very hospitable. The place was clean as can be expected for the age and condition of the unit. It was somewhat comfortable for a day or so but the smelly water from the taps and when showering simply got to us. This may not bother some folks but given we paid $150/night we expected the same standard as many other places we stayed at for the same price on our 5 week trip in NZ. We departed 3 days early. We did enjoy soaking in the hot tub and the proximity to fishing rivers was great!
