When we arrived, there was a slight cigar smell in the room, perhaps from other guests smoking on the verandah, but overall, the room was cozy and clean with plenty of mirrors. Being situated across from a restaurant was convenient. The price seemed fair for the facilities provided.

The hotel's location was a bit out of town in the outer suburb of Riverside, but it worked well for us as we had a car. It was conveniently situated near the Tailrace Centre and right on the Tasman Highway.

While the dining options were a bit limited for vegetarians and the timing of service was late, the homemade yogurt was a delightful treat on the 3rd of October. Seniors' Meals were also available, though slightly pricey.
