This small lodge is a diamond in the ruff. From check in to check out I couldn't ask for a better experience. The proprietors were very friendly and efficient on my check in and even assisted me with my luggage to my room. The room was more like an apartment and has all the conveniences of home from microwave, mini refrigerator, stove top burners and all the plates, silverware, and every kitchen gadget needed. The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the room quite spacious and all for a very reasonable price. I will no doubt be staying here on my next visit to the Lower Hutt.
