Room very clean. Only downfall is being situated above a bar where they played loud music. It could be just the night we stayed. But, for a traveller who needs to wake up early it’s not ideal.

Suited our needs as a bed for the night. Room was right above the bar which was a bit noisy with music and pool tables considering there was only 3 or 4 people in the bar. Disappointed the restaurant wasn't open Sunday morning for breakfast, but found a suitable place up the road.

Very central in the Waitara town. Downside was the noise coming from the bar below. This has been the case on the 2 occasions we have stayed at the hotel. We just accept that this is part of the deal!
