Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional stay.”

“In the 25 years I've lived in New Zealand, I've never experienced hotel service like yesterday. When I requested a room change because the room was a little uncomfortable, the hotel manager was happy to accommodate me. They replaced our room and also split the single bad and adjusted it to the twin bed. All the staff were friendly, the staff serving breakfast in the restaurant were very friendly, and the food was delicious. Also, when I slept at the hotel last night, it was so comfortable and quiet. Thank you to all the hotel staff.”

“Do not stop here if you want fancy, price reflects this. Do stop here if you want a fantastic historic building, quirky and full of character! Plenty of parking out front or beside the hotel. Free WiFi which works! Clean rooms, heaters, ample space in the rooms. Personally I loved the old tiled bathroom, reminds me of schools in the 80/90s or from the shining..... you decide. Looks like it's recently been carpeted throughout. Currently lots of renovation ongoing, hopefully restoring it's beauty. Shops all around for evening meals, breakfasts, even a laundrette next door. Kettle and fridge in the room, even with hot choc sachets! There is a shared kitchen on the landing if you chose to cook. We had the studio/family room. Double bed and two singles, seating area and TV. For a budget stop, highly recommended!”

Your customer service has exceeded my expectations…. Thank you!”

“We can’t speak highly enough of Charlotte Gardner and her team. Right from the start, they were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly, guiding us confidently toward taking our property to auction. We were super impressed with the entire auction process. Although we had a few timing factors to align with needing to sell and buy in tandem—Charlotte and her team worked hard to keep everything on track. Communication was excellent throughout, and we always felt we were in safe hands. We got the result we needed to move forward quickly and smoothly. Thanks to Charlotte and the team!”

“I had a fantastic experience working with Ashleigh and Lachy as my estate agents. From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They kept me well-informed throughout the entire process and were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Their knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and honest advice made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. It was clear they were both genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome and made me feel supported every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashleigh and Lachy to anyone looking to buy or sell. They make a great team and are a pleasure to work with.”

“Marquee and furniture hire from LL Hire was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Lucy and the team were so lovely and accomodating to my 101 hire changes via email and the set up on the day was an absolute dream. Being able to have natural light and beautiful round oak tables for our reception was so special, as were the fairy and festoon lights once it got dark. Our guests were so amazed and particularly loved the outdoor furniture set up which created such a cool vibe so close to the bar and dance floor. Thank you Lucy & team, we are so thankful LL Hire exists x”

“We chose Leslie to be our agent to sell our property for us because we know her personally. We knew we could trust her. Well we had no idea the lengths she went to for, the time she put it, her knowledge of the processes and her professional caring and relentless nature. She went above and beyond her own efforts to get us what we wanted. We are very impressed and grateful too her for helping us create the next chapter in our lives.

“We approached Maureen to look after our property while we live overseas. We found her as a very reliable lady, good communication between her and us. We received our statements every month. We are enjoying our time away from our house as we put our trust in her for looking after everything for us. The house keeping is very good as she does her inspection as we’ve agreed. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent. She’s a beautiful person herself.”

“We had a wonderful stay at the Seascape Villa B&B! David and Tatiana are super welcoming and friendly, they greeted us upon arrival, showed around the place and provided great local recommendations for dining and exploring the area. Our room had a great view, and was top notch comfortable and clean. The breakfast was exceptionally good and included crepes, fresh fruit, yoghurt, a selection of jams, cheese and ham, cereal and eggs. Overall, would highly recommend staying with Tatiana and David while you are in the area!”
