Never saw any staff but the room was spotless and comfortable.
Lovely garden setting, clean and comfortable room, convenient to the cafes and pub in Murchison. Perfect stopover for the trip from Nelson to Greymouth.
Such a cool place to stay! Lovely cabin / Lockwood type 2 bedroom house in a beautiful garden. White water rafting was nearby & awesome, as well as Murchison golf course which was fun.
