The property is pet friendly. However, we didn't have our dog with us. The shopping centre is only a 2 minute drive or 20 min walk. The people of Otorahanga are friendly and Retail staff are pleasant and helpful.

Mostly really good, although someone had obviously been smoking inside at some point previously; the carpet on one side of the bed smelled of old smoke. Otherwise nice and quiet.
